It’s only September but the Skyline field hockey team seems to be playing with a sense of purpose. They have championship aspirations, but first things first – the regular season.

The Eagles have flown off to a 5-1 start on the young season with the only loss coming to rival Pioneer. On Thursday, Skyline took care of another city rival with a dominating 6-0 win over host Huron. Skyline was in control early and often with a nice mix of skill and determination.

Sophomore Madeline Ellies and junior Morgan Nalepa had assists in the win.

Maddie Willicker and Maddison Wade combined for the shutout.
