REMAINING FALL SPORTS WRAP UP
surprising loss to eventual WPIAL
runner-up North Allegheny.
The most overwhelming challenge was
adjusting to the loss of key players who
suffered injuries, including senior Abby
Pitcairn, the most accomplished field
hockey player in Fox Chapel Area High
School history, and a University of
North Carolina-recruit.
Boys’ Soccer
The Fox Chapel Area High School
Girls’ Golf Team advanced to the
PIAA finals for the first time since
2010, finishing fourth at the state
championship. They qualified after
being named the runner-up at the
WPIAL Class 4A championship. It
was the highest WPIAL finish for the
program since the 2010 team won the
championship. They competed in one
of the toughest conferences in the
WPIAL, which included the 2015, 2016,
and 2017 state champions and several
other schools that have an historic

carded the second lowest score
during the team portion of the state
championship. She also qualified for
the WPIAL individual championship

According to Coach John Broderick,
“Hannah had a great performance and
it was a fitting way for her to end a great
high school golfing career.”

included senior Cara Levicoff, juniors
Nicole Garcia-Tunon and Jessica Paper,

sees only great things ahead for the
team. “We are very optimistic heading
into the 2018 boys’ golf season. It will
be an exciting year as we return eight
lettermen.”
Field Hockey
With a perfect regular season record
and the WPIAL Class 3A Section 2
champions’ title in hand, the girls’
field hockey team went into the
