Field Hockey Topples Regis to Extend Winning Streak to Five

WESTON, Mass. - The New England College field hockey team kept their winning ways going at Regis College in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) action, picking up a 6-2 road victory on Tuesday evening in Weston, Massachusetts.  

THE BASICS 
Score: New England College 6, Regis College 2 
Records: Pilgrims 13-3, 8-2 GNAC | Pride 4-11, 3-7 GNAC 

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • The Pilgrims were awarded the first two penalty corners of the game in the 10th minute of the first quarter. NEC was able to convert and cash in on the second attempt, as senior midfielder Taylor Bailey (Boscawen, N.H.) found graduate forward Drea Chin (Laconia, N.H.) who drilled a heater through traffic and into the Regis goal for the first score of the game. 
  • NEC would double their lead 3:37 into the second quarter when junior forward Cristina Manzi (Peapack, N.J.) found sophomore forward Kylee Henriquez (Methuen, Mass.) on the weak side of the net, and Henriquez sent a one-timer past the goalie to make it a 2-0 game. 
  • The 'Grims would waste no time, threatening to score again less than a minute later. Senior midfielder Meaghan McCamish (Warwick, R.I.) took possession of the ball in the middle of the Regis defensive zone, and the senior drove to her left past a pair of defenders before sending a shot up and over the Regis keeper. 
  • With two minutes remaining in the first half, another penalty corner would result in the Bailey-Chin connection ending in a goal. This time Bailey received the ball on a pass back to the inserter before finding Chin in the middle of the half-circle. Chin again went high and rocketed a shot off the top crossbar and into the goal for her second of the day to take a 4-0 lead into halftime. 
  • Just 2:12 into the third quarter, Manzi, who is the reigning GNAC Player of the Week after her pair of game-winners against Rivier and Simmons, connected on her second assist of the night as she sent a pass in to McCamish who used a quick deflection to send a shot past the keeper for her second score. 
  • Later in the third, another NEC penalty corner would turn into a Pilgrims goal. Bailey inserted before a few passes went around the horn to freshman midfielder Kennedy Overhoff (Whitefield, N.H.). Overhoff slapped a hard ball towards the net and found the stick of junior defender Isabella Marzano (Warwick, R.I.) who used a slick deflection to deposit her first goal of the season. 
  • Regis would finally break through with just under 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter when Frankie Alley (Gardner, Mass.) spoiled the shutout with her team-leading seventh goal of the season. Alley would score again with 2:17 remaining, however the damage was already done as the Pilgrims would leave town with the 6-2 win. 

INSIDE THE NUMBERS 

  • Junior goalkeeper Makenzie Anderson (Antrim, N.H.) had an easy day in goal, facing no shots across 30 minutes of actiono and picking up her 13th win of the season. Sophomore goalkeeper Amy Philbin (Long Island, N.Y.) played the second half for the 'Grims and made one save. 
  • Allayna Martone (Elkridge, Md.) and Sarai Velez (Everett, Mass.) split time in the cage for the Pride, each allowing three goals. 
  • With her two goals, Chin is up to 168 points in her career – fourth most all time in program history. 
  • McCamish is up to 14 goals on the season, good for the fourth most in the GNAC. 
  • Marzano is now the 12th different Pilgrim to score a goal this season. 
  • NEC had the advantage on penalty corners, taking 11 to the Pride's five.

  • NEC is back on the field on Saturday when they play their final road contest of the regular season against Elms College at 11:00 AM in Chicopee, Massachusetts. 
  • Regis plays their next game at 3:00 PM on Saturday against top-ranked Johnson & Wales.
