VIDEO: West Morris wins field hockey sectional title over Wayne Hills
Written by Paul Mencher - Wednesday, November 14 2012  

Just a few weeks ago, the idea of West Morris winning a field hockey sectional title would have seemed far-fetched. But after dropping four straight games in October, the Wolfpack turned their season around.

The culmination of that comeback was a 3-1 triumph over Wayne Hills in the North 1, Group III sectional final. The fourth-seeded Wolfpack dominated the game, leaving those tough days in the rearview mirror.

Lindsay Roller had a pair of goals for West Morris and Caroline Boyland also scored. The Wolfpack had 24 shots in the game and would have won by more had it not been for the fine goaltending of the Patriots' Christina Fabiano, who had 21 saves.

Elizabeth Yorey scored the Wayne Hills goal. The Patriots managed only four shots on net.

The Wolfpack was the only one of five NJAC teams that reached a field hockey sectional final to come away with a championship. Morris County's top team, Madison, saw its perfect season ended in a 3-0 loss to Rumson. High Point dropped a 4-1 decision to state power West Essex in its sectional final.

Two other NJAC teams dropped tough one-goal decisions in the same town. Montclair rallied past Randolph 3-2, while Boonton fell to Montclair Kimberley by the same score.

West Morris last won a sectional title in 2010.
