The Bonny Eagle field hockey team is now 2-2 after a 6-2 win over Windham last Saturday. Payton Dostie, Megan Kusckle and Liz Mosley all scored two goals for the Scots who were coming off a 2-1 overtime victory over Thornton Academy last week. Abbi Brockelbank had both goals for Windham.
Becki King scored the game-winner in overtime in last week’s home contest with Thornton Academy. Kiki Kilbride-Johnson gave the Scots a 1-0 lead (with an assist from Nicole Myers), but the Trojans tied the game at 1-1 with a second half tally.
“Janessa Plummer played a real good game,” said Bonny Eagle coach Patricia Bourget after the win over Thornton. “She was very aggressive, she was always there and she never gave up and that’s what some of the other kids have to step up and do. And we always get solid play out of Amy Richardson.”
The Scots are young, and they are gaining experience as the season goes on. “We lost 11 seniors last year,” said Bourget. “I have a lot of underclassmen playing in the key positions and they’re not used to the type of play that we do. It’s just getting acclimated for them and working together as a team.”
Bourget cautioned the players that they need to continue to work on the basics in order to improve. “All the little things that you kind of take for granted as a coach,” said Bourget. “Like stopping the ball, like nice drives, like getting their feet out of the way, talking and moving to the ball.”
