Parkland's water torture-style field hockey patiently stalked Liberty throughout the first half Thursday

The omnipresent Trojans (3-1) drizzled the Hurricanes' end, dripping home only two goals in 20 minutes despite controlling the action.

Pass. Pass. Shot.

Pass. Shot. Save. Rebound. Shot. Save.

Pass. Pass. Pass. Shot. Goal.

Like a shark circling its prey, the Trojans taunted Liberty with consistent but largely unfulfilled surges.

In the second half, those drips turned into a deluge as Parkland scored six times to rout Liberty 8-0 in an early-season separation game. The faucet became a fire hose.

Parkland outshot Liberty 17-5 and recorded a 10-2 edge in penalty corners.

"I think they're going to probably challenge for their division," Liberty coach MK Omdahl said. "They're very talented. They outplayed us they beat us to the ball. Their passes were spot-on. They looked really good."

Liberty (0-3) began the season with narrow losses to a pair of local contenders 2-1 against Colonial League power Moravian Academy and 1-0 against Northampton. Despite starting three freshmen and two sophomores, Liberty opened the season with promise.
