Lightning Quick

On Oct. 3, the Denver East Field Hockey team won 2-0 in the home game against the combined Poudre School District team. East scored on either side of halftime, with goals coming from junior forward Lindsay Dunbar and senior midfielder Scarlett Wiedenmayer. Lightning quick senior forward/midfielder Vivian Leuthold was a force on the offensive end, posing a danger whenever she controlled the ball. As of Oct. 15, East stood with a 9-3-2 record and was the No. 6-ranked field hockey team in the state. But the playoffs may pose a tough hurdle, as East has struggled against the top teams, including falling 5-0 on Oct. 7 to top-ranked Colorado Academy and 5-1 on Sept. 23 to No. 2-ranked Cherry Creek.
