Glenelg lost to Marriotts Ridge on September 17, leaving River Hill and Glenelg tied for first.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the first few minutes of the first quarter, the Hawks secured numerous corners but were unable to take advantage of their opportunities. They later jumped to a 1-0 lead on a goal from junior midfielder, Maddie Vasilios. Glenelg acted promptly and came back from behind twice to tie the game. Both of the Hawks\u2019 goals came from Vasilios.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vishva Iyer, a senior midfielder, believes \u201cthere was a lot of pressure put on this game so some of our players might have been on edge, but I think we played really well and held out until the very end.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>River Hill won the county championship game last year during the abbreviated season. This year, field hockey was the only fall sport at River Hill that competed for a county championship. With a week before state playoffs, the Hawks hope to reflect on how they can grow while utilizing their extra practice time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jannah Nassar, a senior captain, is excited to \u201cfocus on our efforts and work really hard to make sure that we are prepared for states.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The state championship game is set to occur on Saturday, November 13 at Washington College, the same day the Hawks clinched the state championship title in 2010.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before each game, the Hawks chant, \u201cI am thankful to compete. I am aggressive and relentless. I will never be afraid of losing or making a mistake. I will never give up.\u201d No matter the loss, their mantra will forever motivate them to move forward and continue to improve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Julia Trost, staff writer Competing for the county championship title, River Hill varsity field hockey lost to Glenelg by a score of 5-2 on Wednesday, October 21, bringing an end to the regular season.
