NEWTON, Mass. – The Lasell University field hockey team dropped a 3-0 decision Saturday afternoon at Elms College in a key Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) contest at Leary Field.
With one game remaining in the regular season, both teams now have a 6-4 GNAC record and are tied for fifth place. Elms improves 7-8 overall while Lasell drops to 7-9. The GNAC playoffs begin next Saturday, October 30, at the sites of the top four teams.
Grad student Carissa Ramirez (San Diego, Calif.) led the Blazers with a goal and two assists, while seniors Ellie Serra (Palmer, Mass.) and Erin Thibodeau (East Longmeadow, Mass.) scored once each. Elms had a 23-7 advantage in shots and a 14-7 margin in penalty corners.
Serra put the Blazers on the board in the 13th minute, with an assist from Ramirez. The score stayed 1-0 until halftime, but Ramirez pushed the Elms lead to 2-0 a minute into the third quarter. Then Elms sealed the win when Ramirez set up Thibodeau for a fourth-quarter strike.
Freshman Courtney Tello (Nashua, N.H.) made seven saves in the Lasell goal, and senior Nora Newman (Woburn, Mass.) made one save in the win for Elms.
