New-Look Falcons Field Hockey Flying High

In 2024, Severna Park won their record-extending 26th state field hockey championship.

Then they graduated 13 seniors. But the 2025 clutch of Falcons is proving the cupboard was far from bare.

Through seven games, the Falcons are an impressive 5-2, with the losses coming narrowly against quality Pennsylvania opponents at a national tournament in mid-September.

Against Maryland opponents, though, they’re undefeated and sitting pretty in both the county and the 4A East I region standings.

Severna Park’s wins came courtesy of a 7-0 season-opening rout of River Hill, a pair of 1-0 wins over Chesapeake and Crofton, a 4-2 victory over South River, and a 6-0 victory against Annapolis. The losses came at the Max Field Hockey National Invitational, where they fell 2-0 to Oley Valley and 4-3 to Gwynedd Mercy, both of Pennsylvania. During that tournament, sophomore defender Leela Vernugopal was given an honorable mention in the all-tournament honors list.

The team’s contributions have come from all over the roster: Izzy Scarfo netted twice in the win over South River. Sophia Weber scored the game’s only goal to beat Chesapeake. Addy Hill had a hat trick in the win over River Hill. Hill and Katelyn Wiseman both scored twice against Annapolis. Weber, Grace Redmond and others had multiple goal involvements in different games.

The Falcons’ young roster is growing quickly, and they’ll need to continue to do just that. A date with Broadneck looms on October 7, and with a win they would effectively cement a spot in the county championship.
