With this win, New Trier will advance to compete in the state playoffs.

ACHS special education teacher and varsity field hockey coach Terry Dewing said, “As our season progressed, we improved with every game.  This was evident when we watched film from the beginning of the season to watching film at the end of the season.  We were a very fast team that was able to complete possession passes and quickly move the ball to our attacking end.”

This season, ACHS’ varsity field hockey team had a record of 16 wins, seven losses and one tie, with a total of 47 goals scored. Additionally, the team was successful in the Gateway Classic Tournament in St. Louis, Missouri.
