Congratulations to Our Tournament Teams!

LFHA sent 5/6 and 7/8 grade teams to the Harvest Field Hockey Tournament in Owings Mills, MD on Oct 31-Nov 1 - the Ghostbusters and Wicked Witches of the Weast (WWOW), respectively. The Ghostbusters won all of their pool games and made their way to the quarterfinals before their first loss. The WWOW team had one tie and one loss before they won their final pool game.

Congratulations to the Black Widows adult team who competed at the Southeast Tournament in Fallston, MD on Nov 14-15. The team had a great showing at their third appearance and won their finals match for a final placement of 5th place out of 12. Unfortunately the first day of the tournament was cancelled so the high school team did not get to play.
