Nicole Litt - Varsity Field Hockey
Freshman Field Hockey player Nicole Litt scored her first two goals of the season (and her high school career), including the game winner, in GFA's 3-1 victory over The Masters School on Thursday, September 22. GFA outshot Masters 14-3, but had trouble finishing in front of the goal during the game. Litt came off the bench determined to finish opportunities in front of the cage and she did just that. Her first goal, which eventually became the game winner, was scored off a corner play as she deflected a ball that was sent in by junior Madison Leonard. With GFA up 2-1 with 23:10 left in the game, Litt scored her second goal off a scramble in front of the goal giving GFA a 3-1 lead. Litt proved to be the spark that GFA needed in the 3-1 league win.
