Newport Harbor Varsity Field Hockey (10-1-1, 2-0-1 in league) hosted Edison High School on Tuesday and had a hard fought game. The game remained scoreless after regulation time and after ten minutes of sudden-victory 7 v 7 play, the result was a tie. Goalkeeper Sarah Sheldon had 5 saves in the cage. The Sailors travel to Marina High School on Thursday to complete the first half of league play.

Newport Harbor Junior Varsity Field Hockey fell 0-3 to the Edison Chargers.

Newport Harobr Frosh/Soph Field Hockey dominated their entire game, only allowing the ball on their defensive half three times with no shots on goal. Natalie Williams, Grace Fay, Olivia Kalatschan, and Maddie Baldikoski held the team together in the midfield. Mia Lucore scored two goals at forward to secure a 2-0 win over the Chargers. Go Newport!

Recent Alum at UVA

Newport Harbor Field Hockey Alum, Jordan Blanchfield (Class of 2015), checked in with us about her experience with club field hockey so far at the University of Virginia:

“I am having an awesome experience with club field hockey so far! I am so happy with the level of play and commitment expected on the team because it’s been a perfect balance with school. We practice late at night, three times a week and our games/tournaments are on weekends. The club is run entirely by students so there aren’t any coaches or faculty involved, but there is an “executive board” who is just made up of older girls that are mostly in charge. Club sports are definitely popular here. It’s such a big school that there are always people who want to keep playing their sport at a competitive level, so it’s fun to have a community of club sport athletes. I’ve met so many older girls that are awesome resources and super welcoming and helpful with anything at UVA so it makes being part of a team that much better!! I am so happy that I am still playing field hockey and I do also miss Newport Harbor Field Hockey a ton!! Go Newport!”

We wish Jordan all the best at UVA and are so proud of her accomplishments already. Jordan’s team is undefeated and she has already scored three goals and has two assists.

Thank You Nike!

The Nike Store at Fashion Island hosted the Newport Harbor Varsity Field Hockey team for a Nike Training Club workout and they had a blast! The team worked hard, sweat a lot, and had smiles for most of the workout. A big thank you to Nike, our trainer, Joni, and to Newport Harbor Field Hockey Alum, Mary Yeager!
