Severn field hockey can't shake one-goal string

When it comes to tough luck, Severn’s field hockey team knows how to give and receive.

The Admirals are 6-7 this season. Four of those wins — including victories over then-No. 2 Severna Park and No. 15 St. Mary's — and five of the losses were by one goal.

In fact, those five one-goal losses were all to Top 15 teams.

The score book reads like a trip through field hockey’s version of Murderers’ Row: a 1-0 loss to No. 1 Broadneck, a 1-0 loss to No. 2 Garrison Forest, 2-1 to No. 7 Notre Dame Prep, 2-1 to No. 11 Archbishop Spalding and, Monday, a 1-0 loss to NDP, again.

Now comes Wednesday’s 4 p.m. home game against No. 6 Bryn Mawr followed by Friday’s trip to No. 2 Garrison Forest for another rematch.

Sooner or later, you would think the Admirals would have to break free of the one-goal string and go on a scoring binge.
