Greenwich High School’s win against varsity field hockey foe Westhill High School was especially special for its seniors when it hosted the Vikings on Oct. 27th, since it was Senior Night for the Cardinals.

Playing their final home game of the season, the Cardinals celebrated Senior Night in style, cruising to a 6-2 win over the visiting Vikings. Fittingly, all of Greenwich’s goals came from seniors on its Senior Night.

“It was a great game with contributions from all members and a wonderful way to celebrate our amazing seniors and enjoy our last home game,” GHS coach Megan Wax said of the Cardinals’ triumph versus the Vikings.

Van den Rotte generated a goal with 4:26 left in the opening quarter, giving Greenwich a 2-0 lead on Westhill. Boezen made it 3-0 in favor of the Cards, knocking the ball into the goal off a rebound at the 12:40 mark of the second quarter.

Greenwich entered intermission with a 3-0 lead and continued its stellar play once the second half commenced.

“This senior class has worked so hard all four years and continually impresses the coaching staff with their perseverance and hard work as well as their willingness to be flexible whenever the team needs them,” Wax noted.

Van de Rotte scored off a Boezen assist with Greenwich on a penalty corner, giving the Cardinals a 4-0 advantage with 6:55 to go in the third quarter.

Senior Delfina Rotella tallied at the 8:56 mark of the fourth quarter for Greenwich’s fifth goal. Jolie Vazquez, also a senior, sealed the scoring, tallying off a rebound on a penalty corner with 6:24 left in the game.
