GREENE – Two late strikes from Greene’s Claire Moxley helped lift the Trojans to a big win at 3-1 on Thursday night.
The Trojan field hockey team is ready at their shot to make some school history and it seems all around that players are stepping up to try to make the season the best it can be.
On Thursday, October 5, Greene hosted the Maine-Endwell Spartans and played them to the tune of a 1-1 tie.
“We came out flat in the beginning of the first half and were on our heels. M-E scored so we took a timeout and adjusted in some areas which seemed to help and we were able to even things up before half,” said Greene head coach Christine McCabe.
Scoring in the first half for Maine-Endwell – and making the lead at the time 1-0 – was Val Palmeri, assisted by Gina Goldstone.
After some adjustments, Madison Rice snuck in a strike before the half to even up the score at 1-1.
“Our second half we played more composed defensively and were able to have some offensive pushes,” said coach McCabe. “They (Greene) really stepped up their intensity and worked hard to score.”
Scoring twice in the second half of play was Claire Moxley, who proved to be the savior for the home squad this time around – taking the lead in the second half and keeping it for the win.
