The JV Forest Hills United water polo team traveled to Grand Haven last Tuesday and brought home a win. Although it did score eight goals, the team’s strength was in its steals, which FHC had 15 of. FHC freshman Ashley Schenck led the team with four of those steals, two assists, and one goal of her own.
Northern freshman Anna Wierchertjes and FHC freshman Olivia Oorbeck both performed well in Tuesday’s game against the Buccaneers. With four shots each resulting in two goals for both of them, this duo made up half of the team’s points. Anna also won all four of the team’s sprints.
