Carver won 4-2 over Eastern Tech

Baltimore County may only have twelve public schools that have field hockey programs, but each one will come into this fall different than last season. While no team advanced further than the state quarterfinals in 2024, several teams have the opportunity to do so in the coming months. Here are how all twelve teams from Baltimore County stack up ahead of the regular season starting: 1. Franklin (2024: 4-3) While the Indians did graduate eight seniors in 2025, they will be led by American University field hockey commit Nora Tromble this fall. Without any senior receiving an invitation to the all-county squad last fall, and Tromble qualifying for the all-state team, the impact of losing the senior class will likely be much less compared to other programs. After being eliminated from the playoffs in a 3-2 regional championship game against Westminster, Franklin will be doing everything they can to reach the state playoffs this season. 2. Dulaney (2024: 6-6) The biggest loss this fall for the Lions will likely prove to be Johns Hopkins University commit and McCormick Unsung Hero nominee Eve Fowler, along with eight additional seniors. Even with these losses, Dulaney has major upside this season as they will be led by Sara Sugarman, who was named in the MAX top 150 field hockey players for the class of 2027. After an early exit from the state playoffs, the Lions will have a solid mix of new and returning talent to make it back in 2025. 3. Perry Hall (2024: 5-7) The only 4A school in Baltimore County with a field hockey team appears to be positioned for a solid season. After losing just three seniors, tied for the fewest out of all BCPS teams, the Gators are in a prime spot for, a prime regular season. With games scheduled against weakened teams, including two against Towson and one against Sparrows Point, Perry Hall will likely have a much better regular season record, positioning them well for a postseason push. 4. Sparrows Point (2024: 5-6) After graduating seven seniors, including all-county selectees Jillian Baynes and Autumn Burkindine, the Pointers’ team will not be drastically different this fall. With three athletes in the class of 2026 and eleven in the class of 2027, Sparrows Point has plenty of talent to fill their lineup. With six consecutive regular season losses to end their season before a run to the state quarterfinals, the Pointers will have plenty of room for improvement when the season starts in the coming weeks. 5. Eastern Tech (2024: 9-1) The Mavericks had an outstanding regular season, going into the playoffs with just one loss. This effort was led by seven total seniors, including all-state honoree and Allegheny College commit Bryce Watford and Shenandoah University commit Mary Weaver. Despite a four point loss in the regional finals, Eastern Tech looks to be a team to contend this season. With eight of twelve games played at home, the Mavericks will have an easier regular season compared to most in 2025. 6. Carver (2024: 5-5) Based on the team’s social media, the Wildcats have already selected their three captains for the season — Ohio Wesleyan commit Emmerson Crist along with seniors Mary Murphy and Chloe Clifton. Carver looks to avenge a first-round exit to Sparrows Point, and they will have the opportunity in just their second game of the season, then potentially in the playoffs. The Wildcats may fly under many people’s radars, but this team appears to have a good shot at bringing home their first regional championship since 2022. 7. Hereford (2024: 7-2) A 1-0 loss on the road against Easton in the state quarterfinals ended a very good year for the Bulls. Their low rating is less about them losing seniors, and more about the difficulty of their schedule. Throughout the season, they will be facing four private schools, including McDonogh at home and Maryvale Prep, Garrison Forest, and Notre Dame Prep on the road. Beyond that, Hereford will be ending their season against Franklin at home, then Dulaney and Perry Hall on the road. I could see the Bulls going anywhere from 2-9 to 6-5, likely hurting them in the postseason. 8. Pikesville (2024: 7-3) The Panthers sent three seniors, Haley Bohrer, Kennedy Grams, and Danielle Lerner to the all-county team, with Grams also receiving all-state honors. Despite this, Pikesville was eliminated in the regional finals by Sparrows Point. This season, the majority of the team will consist of athletes in the class of 2028, with just a few in the classes of 2026 and 2027. It will likely be a rebuilding year for Pikesville, but next year and the year after are looking extremely promising for the currently young core. 9. Loch Raven (2024: 2-8) Despite just a .200 win percentage last fall, the Raiders had several highlights during their season. Senior Molly Frey earned the schools McCormick Unsung Hero nominee, and the team swept Patapsco, scoring a combined eight points in the two games. While Loch Raven may still struggle in 2025, they have several opportunities against familiar opponents to show improvement over last fall. 10. Catonsville (2024: 1-11) The Comets have the most games outside of Baltimore County this season, traveling to Anne Arundel, Carroll, and Frederick counties for five total games. Last season, Catonsville’s lone win came on the road against Perry Hall in a huge upset, and they will have to defend the win at home without eight graduated athletes. It may be another tough season ahead for the Comets, but they will have plenty of games that went against them in 2024 to avenge this fall. 11. Towson (2024: 9-3) Normally, there is never a reason for a team that did as strongly as the Generals to fall to the bottom of the county rankings, but this team graduated an astonishing seventeen athletes from the 2024 squad. Within that seventeen, eleven were selected for the all county showcase, three of them, Kate Wahler, Sadie Ewell, and Charlotte Hemingway were selected to the all-county team, and Wahler will be continuing the sport at Tufts University. Last season, the JV team won just three games, and with many of them being moved into the starting lineup for the Generals, it will almost certainly be a rebuilding year for this squad. 12. Patapsco (2024: 0-10) It was undoubtedly a poor year for the Patriots, but the bright side is that they will play this year without just three seniors, including Cedar Crest College women’s lacrosse commit and senior showcase selectee Trinity Burk. In 2024, Patapsco allowed 29 points to Eastern Tech across three games. In their opening game matchup, they will simply try to play better, hopefully setting up an improved season in 2025.

2023 marked a strong campaign cut short for the field hockey team at Eastern Tech High School. The Mavericks posted a solid 10-2 record in the regular season before being bounced fairly early in the playoffs at the hands of North Harford. They will look to get back on track this fall, opening play at the end of the month with a scrimmage at Franklin High School. The Mavericks will play seven of their first nine games on the road before coming home for the final three games of the season.
