Well rumour had it that Citadel had not lost a field hockey game in three years … your Halifax West Warriors girls field hockey team put that rumour to bed with a 5-4 win in double overtime to win the 2018 league championship!!  It was a tremendous team effort as the team never gave up and clawed back from a 4-1 deficit to tie the game and send it to extra time.  The OT periods were an epic battle with the West getting the golden goal winner with 1 minute left to end it!  Congratulations to all team members on a terrific season.
