Field Hockey Stays Perfect In NECC


Leicester, Mass.- The Hawks scored three first half goals to remain undefeated in the New England Collegiate Conference.

Becker got things started just 3:21 into the contest when Jennifer Ouellette (Merrimack, NH) ran past the Blazers defense to score an unassisted goal. The Hawks added to their lead when freshmen Victoria Sirchia (Goshen, CT) intercepted a pass in front of the Elms net and drove in into the back of the goal putting Becker up 2-0. With just over seven minutes remaining in the half, Victoria Sirchia scored her second goal of the game. Katlyn Eisele(Walton, NY) squeezed a pass between the Elms Defense; which fed Sirchia for the final goal.

Ciara Lawrence (Costa Mesa, CA) made four saves for the Hawks . Elms goalkeeper Katelyn Wasgatt (Worcester, MA) made seven saves in the losing effort. Becker (3-2, 2-0 NECC) will travel to Simmons on Tuesday to battle the Sharks. Elms (1-5, 0-2 NECC) will host Smith College on Wednesday.
