September 5, 2017 (La Mesa) - Amidst all the high school football, Helix High field hockey is ready to start a new season. Tonight, they faced the Centurions of University City High in La Jolla in their first matchup of the season.
Junior forward/midfielder Katie Jones got the Scottie dogs on the board early in the first half with a punch in, but the Centurions tied it at one apiece with 18 minutes left and that's how the first half ended; all knotted up.
Two goals were scored in a matter of seconds in the second half. Helix junior forward Fatima Said reclaimed the lead for the Highlanders with 25 minutes left, but seconds later, Centurions senior Chloe McMann tied it right back up. Junior Lauren Stack gave the Centurions their first lead of the game with seven and a half minutes left. They'd carry that lead to the end to hand the Highlanders their first loss of the season, winning 3-2.
The Highlanders are back in action against Hilltop on Thursday night at 6:15 p.m.
