Lady Warriors are state champs again!

State Champions Again: Pocomoke field hockey defeats Patuxent 3-1, wins 1A State Title

Salisbury Daily Times

The MPSSAA Class 1A Field Hockey State Championship is once again headed back to Pocomoke City, as the Pocomoke Warriors defeated Patuxent 3-1 Saturday night to grab the state title.

After a scoreless first quarter, Patuxent got on the scoreboard first with a goal in the second quarter by Caydence Stone. Down 1-0 at halftime, Pocomoke needed a big second half to grab another state championship, and they did just that, scoring three goals in the final two quarters.

Pocomoke hosted Queen Anne's Thursday, Sept. 12, 2024, in Pocomoke City, Maryland. Pocomoke defeated Queen Anne’s 1-0 in penalty shootouts

The first goal for the Warriors came courtesy of Aubrey Jackson-Bowen, who tied things at 1-1 in the third quarter. And Pocomoke took the lead in the fourth, with Kendall Rayfield scoring the go-ahead goal in the final quarter. One more goal put the game away and sealed the 3-1 championship victory for Pocomoke.

For Pocomoke, this is its 22nd field hockey state championship in program history and its third in the last four years, continuing the school's field hockey dynasty. Only one school, Severna Park, has more Maryland field hockey state titles than Pocomoke, as the Warriors currently have the second most in state history.
