Senior Mackenna Hill and sophomore Sirilla Cretton-Gilbert scored two apiece, with sophomore Jane Davanzo netting one goal.
“I’m very proud of this team. This has probably been one of the best teams overall that we’ve had,” FHS head coach Pam Hill said. “They’re an excellent group of girls, and they all really work well as a team.”
Seneca Hill was among four FHS girls with one assists, joining Taryn Jackson, Maddy Andrews and Maisie Hagen.
“Honestly, these girls are not selfish. If somebody scores, they’re happy for that person,” Hill added about her team. “There’s no ‘me, me’ on the team.”
As for opening face-off time against Ravenwood, “I’m probably going to try to schedule it at 6 or 6:30 (p.m.),” Hill said.
