Cape hockey goes quick six to beat Woodbridge 7-0
The Cape field hockey team rolled down Salvage Road south of Greenwood on a late Tuesday afternoon to face a dangerous Woodbridge team that had played everyone tough, including upsetting Sussex Tech 2-1 in overtime, while losing to undefeated Polytech 3-2 and a dropping a 2-1 game to a 9-3 Caesar Rodney team.
Blue Raider Aitia Anderson is tall, rangy and athletic. She had a 16-save game against Sussex Tech and 11 versus Polytech.
Cape’s story line over the last four games is a plethora of shots and a paucity of goals scored.
That all went by the board at Woodbridge Oct. 8, as Cape rang the bell six times in the first half and played an amazing 27 athletes in a 7-0 shutout that seemed to stun the Blue Raiders.

Yeager’s three goals were assisted by Coverdale, Tiara Duffy and Lizzie Frederick, while the Coverdale scores were assisted by Duffy and Cam Bernheimer. Duffy’s goal just before halftime at 1:24 was assisted by Frederick.
Tess Bernheimer scored with 3:57 left to play.
