Jags Defeat Langley in Thrilling Double Overtime Victory

The Jaguar varsity field hockey team played host to the Saxons of Langley High School on Thursday, September 1, and came away with a 3-2, double overtime sudden death victory late in the second overtime period. Action was up and down the field all evening as the Jags charged out to a 2-0 halftime lead. It was a different story in the second half as the Saxons came out on fire and scored two goals to knot the score at 2-2 at the end of regulation. The first period of overtime saw both teams have several excellent scoring opportunities, but the goalkeeping for both teams was superb and neither team managed a score. In the second overtime, the Jaguars came out determined and scored the winning goal with only minutes left on the clock to secure their third victory of the season. The Jaguars and Saxons will go at it again this Saturday in the Westfield Tournament. Check the field hockey schedule for the time and location of that match.
