Walford’s Game Winner Sends Queen Anne’s To Regional Title

The Queen Anne’s field hockey team is headed back to the 1A East Regional Championship game after they topped Kent County 3-2. The Lions earned the win off a late goal score by Sara Walford with just 34 seconds left to advance to host Pocomoke.

It seemed to be all Queen Anne’s from the beginning as they kept the ball on their side of the field for most of the first half. Queen Anne’s then struck first with a goal from Gabrielle Corder. The Trojans didn’t take long to respond with a goal from Ally Hickman to even the game up at one. The Lions’ weren’t quite done yet as Sarah Walford comes in with the goal for Queen Anne’s. Kent County responds with a goal of their own from Taylor Johnson to tie the game up yet again. Queen Anne’s must’ve had dinner reservations and had no time for overtime because with 34 seconds remaining, Sara Walford comes in with the second goal of the game and also the game winner to send the Queen Anne’s Trojans to the Regional Championship.
