Field Hockey: Passaic County Tournament: Lakeland 3, Wayne Valley 2

Source: The Bergen Record

For the first time in 11 years, Lakeland is back in the Passaic County semifinals. And it earned its spot in a new and thrilling fashion.
Lakeland fell behind 1-0 and 2-1 before staging its dramatic comeback, the first come-from-behind victory for the Lancers this year. Stephanie Ruhle scored the first tying goal, Kristen Nazzarese knocked home the second, and Danielle Secor completed the comeback, whacking home the game-winner with 18 minutes left. Lakeland held off a spirited Wayne Valley side, which got a goal and assist from Kelsey Jubinsky, and sent itself back to the County semis, where it faces No. 2 Wayne Hills, for the first time since 1997.
"This is justification that we can play field hockey, that we are a good team," Lakeland coach Patty Kebridle said. "It was a big moral boost to prove that we can come from behind."
