Hayfield’s Wings Clipped by Wolverines

     Hayfield’s Boys Varsity returned from their three weeks break from lacrosse, traveling to West Potomac HS to challenge the Gunston District’s lone undefeated team; The West Potomac Wolverines. Based upon their earlier game (11-4 loss) vs. the Wolverines, the Hawks were confident that they would fare better than other district opponents, but West Potomac tallied 4 goals in the first 12 minutes, to take a 4-1 lead, and never looked back! Hayfield lost it’s third straight game, falling to 3-6 on the 2019 Spring season.

     Despite it’s recent losing streak, the Hawks have their best team in the past five years, and still currently hold the third seed in the Gunston District, with one remaining district game to play, vs. the Atoms of Annandale HS. If/when victorious on Friday, the Hawks will have 3 wins in district play, and will be able to vault over the 4-5 seed play-in game.
