Severna Park emerges on top at Nyborg Tournament
The Roland Park Sally E. Nyborg Invitational Tournament Saturday had one of its most competitive showings, but No. 2 Severna Park made its ranking hold up with two solid games and emerged as the only undefeated team in the event.
No. 4 Westminster started strong, stretching its unbeaten streak from last season to 20-0 with a hard-fought 2-1 overtime victory against Roland Park.
But then the Owls came up against Severna Park's Falcons. The Falcons opened their season by playing Westminster in the second game of the day and scored a 2-0 shutout. From there, Severna Park went on to play Bethesda Chevy Chase, and won 3-0.
BCC beat St. Stephens and St. Agnes, 3-2, and SSSA pulled out a 1-0 victory against Roland Park.
It has been a rough, yet encouraging start for the host Reds, who have lost all three of their games in this young season by one goal margins. Roland Park opened Friday with a 2-1 loss to rival Bryn Mawr, currently ranked No. 5.
Comments
It is worth noting that Westminster only had a 20 minute break between their OT win against RPCS and the Severna Park game; whereas it was Severna Parks first game of the day. The Owls' defense held strong in the contest; Severna Park's two goals came on two corner plays.
