Down goes another national high school field hockey record at the stick of Eastern High School's (New Jersey) Austyn Cuneo.

On Tuesday, Cuneo, who earlier this year set the all-time record for goals in a career, scored six goals to help her team advance to the New Jersey Group IV state championship on Saturday.  Those six goals gave her 83 for the year, which passed the old single-season goal mark of 82 that was set in 1982 by Tracey Fuchs of Centereach High School in New York.  

Cuneo, who's only a junior, now has 220 career goals. 

Eastern is currently ranked #2 in the latest Top of the Circle National Rankings as of Monday...

1. Watertown (MA) 21-0
2. Eastern (NJ) 21-0-1
3. Lower Dauphin (PA) 23-1

Congratulations to Austin Cuneo of Eastern High School (New Jersey) who broke America's high school field hockey record for goals in a career on Wednesday.

Cuneo, who is only a junior, scored three goals in her team's 11-0 shutout of Cherry Hills East to move past Lexi Smith of Florence High School's mark of 191 career goals.  Cuneo now has scored 193 goals with plenty more games to play for her school that is currently ranked 6th in the nation.
