HMHS keeps rolling, 3-1 over Kingsway

I finally got to see the Haddonfield girls play yesterday and watched most of an impressive 3-1 win over Group 4 Kingsway.  (For those outside of New Jersey, Group 4 is the largest schools.  Haddonfield is in Group 2.)  The game was at Kingsway, which has a campus just slightly smaller than that of, say, Penn State.

We were already up, 2-0, when I arrived midway through the first half, and added another goal in the 2nd to make it 3-0 before the Dragons finally scored.  There were about 10 or 12 nervous minutes midway through the second half when Kingsway kept the ball in our end and we seemed to be content to watch them.  But we suddenly woke up and once we did there was no doubt that if any more goals were scored they would come from Haddonfield.  As it turned out, no one scored and the game ended 3-1.

Some of the parents said this was our toughest opponent yet.  Coach Q wasn't sure but did not necessarily disagree.  Doesn't matter.  Haddonfield is 8-0 going into the first night game of the season Monday against neighboring Haddon Township.

Back to High School

We're already five games into the high school season and the Haddonfield girls are off to a spectacular start:  five wins, no losses, 18 goals scored, two allowed.  Most recent win was 4-1 at West Deptford yesterday.

I never got around to writing about the traditional pre-season picnic, graciously hosted by Dave and Chris Stanton, so there are two phots above, both courtesy of Chris Stanton.  Top is our awesome coach, Lori Quintavalle, whom I have known since she was maybe 14.  Next to her is Freshman Coach Jessica Miller.  Bottom photo is yours truly.

Looking forward to the first night game in the stadium on September 26 against Haddon Township.
