The field hockey team defeated Bonita High School 2-0 in the 2023 Sunset League Tournament of Champions (TOC) final Oct. 28. The victory marks the team’s eighth TOC title in program history, with the team winning their last title in 2021. Val Ganocy ’27 scored both goals for the Wolverines and won Most Valuable Player for the championship game. The team finished the season with a total record of 14-2-1 with a league record of 7-1.
Forward Savannah Mashian ’24 said the team won the championship by playing with a controlled yet fast-paced intensity.
“I think we stayed connected by working as a unit, keeping our structure and connecting passes,” Mashian said. “We moved at a higher speed and pace than the other teams. And in the end, we were just more calm, cool and collected.”
Mashian said she was emotional to have played her last game of high school field hockey despite winning the championship.
“[The championship win] felt very reminiscent of my past six years of field hockey,” Mashian said. “I’m extremely devastated to have [field hockey] be in the past, but I know that the future of this team is extremely bright, and they’re going to go all the way [next year].”
