#7 Field Hockey cruises in 3-0 shutout of Bentley

WALTHAM, Mass. – Coming off only their second loss of the season, the No. 7-ranked Saint Anselm College field hockey team cruised to a 3-0 victory over Bentley University on Wednesday night in Northeast-10 Conference action in Waltham, Mass.

Box Score

The Hawks improve to 9-2 overall and 4-1 in the NE-10, while Bentley falls to 6-6 and 4-2 in conference games. Saint Anselm is back in action Saturday afternoon when they host #10 Adelphi University in a 1 p.m. game at Grappone Stadium.

Hannah Friend gave the Hawks an early 1-0 lead as she was able to find the back of the net through a crowd in front of the goal to put Saint Anselm on top in the ninth minute of action.

Katherine Sears was tested in the 17th minute, but she was able to make a save on an attempt by Keally Ingersoll to preserve the one goal advantage. Bentley worked the ball down the right side with less than 10 minutes to play and a Falcon player snuck behind the defense, but Sears came off her line and kicked the ball to safety, ending the threat.

The game entered the half with the Hawks in front 1-0, but Saint Anselm wasted no time doubling their lead after being awarded a penalty corner less than three minutes into the second period. Erin Collins played the ball in and eventually Mia Vecchione was able to corral the loose ball and bury it in the back of the net for the 2-0 lead.

Emma Kincaid entered the scoring column nearly two minutes later as she slammed home a rebound on a shot from Allia Connolly to put the Hawks on top 3-0 with less than 30 minutes to play in regulation.

That would be all the offense Saint Anselm would need as the Hawks cruised to 3-0 shutout while holding a 22-2 advantage in shots in the game.

Katherine Sears ended the game making one save in 64:49 of action. Sarah Bentley wrapped up the game playing the final 5:11 without facing a shot.

Bentley's Evelyn Schaedel suffered the setback, making 13 saves between the pipes.
