The Southern Regional High School field hockey team proved it was formidable from game one of the season, when the Rams took down potent Shore Regional, 3-2. “Ever since we beat Shore, we’ve had a target on our back,” said Southern head coach Jenna Lombardo. “The girls know it. But every single game, they’ve stepped up.

“It’s something to be proud of.”

Following a 7-1 win over Toms River East on Monday, the Rams now stand at 14-0 on the season.
