Coach: David Dewing
2022 Record: 0-16
2023 Record: 5-13-2
Top Players: Senior Lana Jermagian, Senior Aandrea Pineda-Dominguez, Freshman Emi Yu
Notable: What is important to recognize is the Lancers have not won a single match in nearly five years. Last year, the Lancers were close but did not win a match. This season, the girls continued to grow in their skills and the results were not one win but five. The team beat Newbury Park earlier this season at Thousand Oaks for its only conference match win. They hope to finish ahead of them in the standings. Another win was against Royal High. They have been pretty solid and this year won the match that went to a tie breaker.
Quotable: “The Varsity team made big strides this year and has improved drastically compared to last year,” Dewing said.
Inside Story: Audrey Li was hurt early in the season and missed several matches, but Dewing said she was set to return late in the year and getting her game back. This year, the team welcomed a new freshman, Emi Yu, to the team. She is an outstanding player with an 81% winning record. She plays singles at a high level and competes with any team. Aandrea Pineda-Dominguez and Chokee Weezer are a strong #2 doubles team.

Coach: Alan Scally
2022 Record: 2-4-1
2023 Record: 1-7
Top Players: Senior Sydney Korkosz, Senior Bianca Scally, Senior Moira Scally
Notable: The team played almost every single game without any substitutions. Pre-season injuries left the team with a tight roster and minimal depth. But despite several challenges, the team was able to be competitive in all of its regular season games. Although they finished with a record of 1-7, two of those losses came in overtime.
Quotable: “We had an amazing group of individuals who joined and learned the game, who started to develop into amazing players,” Scally said.
Inside Story: This season was a rebuilding season for TO field hockey. The team lost a big part of the team last year and began the rebuilding process. There are two players who are expected to continue to play in college, Sydney Korkosz and Bianca Scally. Moira Scally also excelled at playing containment through the middle. All three players will be playing in the area All Star Game in the winter.
