#10 Field Hockey Slips Past Saint Michael's, 1-0
NORTH ANDOVER, MA – The Merrimack field hockey Warriors
(10-6, 5-2 NE-10) won their second straight game by a score of 1-0
over Saint Michael's College on Tuesday afternoon at Warrior
Field.
The Warriors tenth win of the year sets a new program record for
wins in a season. In 2005 and 2006, Merrimack tallied nine wins,
but had not previously broken double digits in the win column until
this fall.
Reigning Division II Freshman of the Week, Jen Otis
(Penacook, NH) scored the game's lone goal and now
leads the team with 13 scores on the year. She was fed by senior
captain Jaclyn Germano (Westwood, MA) in the 56th
minute for the eventual game-winner.
Freshman Kerri Bergquist (Mashpee, MA) posted her
third shut-out of the year with 10 saves on the afternoon,
including a Molly DiMasi penalty stroke.
Junior Ashley Nadeau (Canton, MA) also
contributed to the shut-out with two defensive saves in a game the
Warriors were at a 14-7 disadvantage in the penalty corner
department.
The Warriors end their regular season home schedule on Sunday,
October 18 versus Adelphi University at 1:00pm. Seniors Germano,
Kelly Pasquantonio (Planville, MA),
Katelin Gisonno (Georgetown, MA), Krista
Gordon (Wakefield, MA) and Allison Doliner
(Norwood, MA) will be recognized on Senior Day against
Adelphi during homecoming weekend at Merrimack College.
