The Northwood Girls’ Hockey team left campus yesterday to play a series of games over the next few weeks in March. The last time the girls’ team has played games was in the second week of January.
Over these next few weeks, Northwood’s Girl’s Hockey Team will face some of the top–ranked teams in the nation, including: HoneyBaked, NAHA, Jr. Flyers, Selects Academy and many more. Between games the girls will go to their homes or stay with a teammate and take classes remotely.
The girls began the month by dominating play against Nichols yesterday and winning 5-1. Goals scored by Marina Alvarez ’21, Ella Fesette ’22 (two), Ana Pavlaslova ’23, and Madison Lawerence ’23, who netted her first ever Northwood goal.

On Saturday they face off against HoneyBaked (ranked #6 in the nation) at 2:00pm and from there depending on their record they can compete in the playoffs for some more hockey.
The following weekend, the girls will be making their way to Syracuse the weekend to play against Valley Eagles and possibly the Jr. Flyers (ranked #12 in the nation) for a solid weekend series.
