Field Hockey defeated Newport Harbor High School with a score of 4-0 in the 2025 Los Angeles Field Hockey Association (LAFHA) Tournament of Champions (TOC) championship game at Ted Slavin Field on Oct. 25. Margaux Schlumberger ’27 led the scoring for the Wolverines with two goals. Ranked 27th in the state by MaxPreps, Newport Harbor came into the championship game with a three-game win streak in which they outscored opponents 14-2.

At Ted Slavin Field, the Wolverines beat Fountain Valley High School 5-1 in the first round on Oct. 21 and defeated Edison High School 2-1 in the semi-finals on Oct. 23 to send them to the championship game.

The field hockey team won the TOC for seven consecutive seasons from 2017 to 2023 and has won eight championships in the last nine years. They ended the 2025 season with an eight-game win streak, though they were unbeaten in their final 13 games. The team was ranked 19th in the state and 213th nationally this year by MaxPreps.

Despite being eliminated from the TOC by Bonita High School and placing second last year, Schlumberger said the team’s expectations were just as high as before the start of last season.

“The team’s mindset going into the tournament was [to stay] focused but [also be] excited,” Schlumberger said. “From the beginning, our goal was to win the whole tournament, and it was reflected on the field.”

Schlumberger said she credits the seniors with bringing both energy and humor throughout the tournament.

“Our senior class in particular really kept the energy level high throughout the tournament,” Schlumberger said. “There was no shortage of sideline cheers, which were hilarious and super motivating.”

Hayden Park ’27 led the team with 30 goals scored, the third-most among all California players. Schlumberger led the team with 17 assists, fourth in the state. She also added 26 goals, which made her fifth in the state.

The Wolverines’ starting goalkeeper, Abigail Juarez ’26, recorded 16 saves on 29 attempts, holding opponents scoreless six times.

Schlumberger said the team’s resilience set them apart from everyone else and that they evolved significantly since the preseason.

“What set the team apart was our ability to improve and adapt,” Schlumberger said. “We made massive strides over the course of the season. The team that went into the playoffs was completely different from the one in preseason, which is awesome [because it] makes it a lot more difficult for opponents to predict [our] strategies.”

Key players returning for the 2026 season include Park, Schlumberger, Abigail Ryan ’27, Valentina Hernandez-Ruiz ’27, Luciene Oneil-Dunne ’27 and Mila Detmer ’27.
