There have always been goals. The foremost were to play good field hockey and give area high school players a chance to be seen by college coaches. Debbie McQuaid has done this for 28 years during Thanksgiving weekend, taking area teams to the annual United States Field Hockey Association Festival in locations in Florida, California and Arizona. “I don’t really care about the win-loss (record),” McQuaid said. “But winning is always fun.” Well, McQuaid and her TC Shore team had a lot of fun last weekend, as it went 5-0 over three days of pool play during the annual USFHA Festival at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex in Naples, Florida. “We’ve won our pool a couple of times,” McQuaid said. “But we’ve never gone 5-0. It was very exciting.” It was also very impressive, considering after Friday’s tournament-opening 5-2 victory over Team Gateway of St. Louis, TC Shore yielded only one more goal over its remaining four games. “Somebody asked me, ‘Well, who stood out?’” McQuaid said. “I said, ‘None of them and all of them.’ They just worked as a unit. And they were so supportive. We had (Saints Peter and Paul eighth-grader) Caroline (Corson) being younger and they were just all so supportive of her. Just nice to see. No egos.” TC Shore also won its second game Friday, as Queen Anne’s County High goalies Cassidy Alexander and Caroline Kimball combined for a 3-0 shutout of Xcaliber (New Jersey). It was after Day 1, that McQuaid — who is currently the head coach at Sts. Peter and Paul, but has also been head coach at St. Michaels and Easton — thought her team could go undefeated. “Those were the two best teams,” McQuaid said of Team Gateway and Xcaliber. TC Shore came back to post back-to-back shutouts on Saturday, blanking both GOA Canada and Atlanta by 3-0 finals. In addition to Kimball and Alexander not letting anything get past them, the play of backs and midfielders Ellee McLean (Queen Anne’s), Haley Cole (Queen Anne’s), Angie Webb (SSPP), Jordan Bilbo (Queen Anne’s), Kadence McGuckin (Easton) and Claire Bieber (SSPP) stymied opponents. “The midfield really took care of things. They locked them down,” McQuaid said. TC Shore also had Gunston’s Layla Kent and Grace Shepherd, who saw time up front, at midfield, and in the back. McQuaid, who was assisted by Missy Cannon and Julie Corson, had Sadie Latchaw (Kent Island), Ellen Napier (Kent Island) and Sadie Jacobs (SSPP) rotating at midfield and forward, and Jules Stepp (SSPP), Ryann Quicke (Easton) and Gabi Shepherd (Gunston) up front. That offensive group combined to outscore the opposition, 15-3, for the tournament. TC Shore punctuated its unbeaten run Sunday with a 2-1 victory over HTC of Connecticut. “We started probably three years ago with the core group and they stayed together through Disney tournaments and spring tournaments,” McQuaid said. “And basically they just trust each other. Their personalities get along on the field, off the field. It was just a joy to coach. They enjoy themselves on the field.”Matt Gaetz says he won't return to Congress next year after withdrawing name for attorney general
