Field Hockey Cruises to Three Straight Wins

Taking in a centering pass from Gannon and sweeping it past New Hampshire goalie Christine Buckley, Lane pushed the lead to 2-0.

Fuller responded with another score, knocking in a rebound from her own initial shot at 19:09. The final goal again came from Lane, who tipped Maasdorp’s shot off a penalty corner into the cage at 23:55.

Remtilla and Anne Haig shared the shutout, with Remtilla making five saves and Haig none.

HARVARD 4, UMASS 1

Harvard opened its season in grand fashion, as the Crimson surged past UMass (0-4) 4-1 last Sunday in Amherst, Mass. Four different players of four different years scored for Harvard.

The Minutewomen grabbed an early lead when Adrianne Monaco scored at 18:27.

Less than two minutes later, the Crimson got the equalizer. Following a penalty corner, UMass goalie Christine Tocco saved a Lane shot, but a follow-up shot in front of the net struck the leg of a defender and gave Harvard a penalty stroke.

Freshman midfielder Tamara Sobek-Rosnick came off the bench and beat Tocco to the upper-right corner of the cage.

Three minutes later the Crimson snatched the lead for good, as junior forward Laura Werner smacked a pass from junior midfielder Jen McDavitt into the net from five yards out.

The margin was pushed to 3-1 at the 21:23 mark as Lane scored off a give from McDavitt after a penalty corner.

The score would remain the same heading into the intermission, but the second half was controlled by Harvard. The Minutewomen did not record a shot in the period, and Maasdorp added a final score from a nifty reverse chip off a feed from McDavitt with 15:31 remaining.

Remtilla made one save as the Crimson out shot UMass 25-3 and held a 9-0 edge in penalty corners.
