The Ocean City High School field hockey team’s string of state titles may have come to an end on Saturday, but it took the opposition an overtime period and a lot of drama to finally unseat the champions.

Warren Hills defeated Ocean City, 5-4 in overtime, on Saturday to win the NJSIAA State Group III championship, according to nj.com.

Ocean City defeated Warren Hills in the state final each of the last two years, including last year’s overtime victory.
