Field Hockey Shuts Out the Bison in Regular Season Finale

DUDLEY, Mass. - The New England College field hockey team gets a momentum-building win at Nichols College on Wednesday evening at the Vendetti Field in non-conference action. 

THE BASICS 
Score: New England College 4, Nichols College 0  
Records: Pilgrims 12-7, 9-3 GNAC | Bison 6-10, 1-4 CCC 

HOW IT HAPPENED 

  • NEC graduate forward Mikayla Vincent (Newburyport, Mass.) led the 'Grims once again in the shutout by putting in two goals. The first of which was scored with 1:17 remaining in the second quarter when junior midfielder Meaghan McCamish (Warwick, R.I.) was able to bat around the ball to her in a scramble. The second goal came off a strike attempt by NEC but Vincent was able to rebound and send in a high ball over the goalie for back-to-back goals. 
  • 'Grims sophomore midfielder Cristina Manzi (Peapack, N.J.) was the first player to score in the game as struck in a goal off a pass from graduate forward Drea Chin (Laconia, N.H.) with 12:27 left in the second quarter. 
  • The round out the victory, Chin has been also one of the more consistent scorers for NEC as she was able to get a goal against the Bison after getting a position reset and driving toward the goal and shooting at a difficult angle to eventually give the 'Grims a 4-0 win. 

INSIDE THE NUMBERS 

  • NEC sophomore goalkeeper Makenzie Anderson (Antrim, N.H.) played the full game but did not have much activity while saving only three shots that were faced. 
  • Nichols junior goalkeeper Sophia Venable (Troy, N.Y.) came away with 14 saves despite the loss. 
  • The 'Grims outshot the Bison by a huge 29-4 advantage. 
  • NEC was also given more penalty corners in the evening matchup with a 12-2 advantage 

UP NEXT 

  • NEC awaits the official announcement from the Great Northeast Athletic Conference for the conference tournament matchup regarding the seedings and locations. 
  • Nichols also awaits tournament matchups made by the Commonwealth Coast Conference which are set to begin October 31st.
