The Pinelands Regional High School field hockey team had a chance to move to the top of the Shore Conference B South standings on Monday afternoon.

But after suffering a 1-0 loss to the visiting Lacey Lions the Wildcats will now need a little help to scratch and claw their way to a second straight B South title.

The defeat dropped the Wildcats to 6-3 for the season and, more importantly, 5-2 in divisional play.
