WENHAM, Mass. - Behind an offensive attack that posted seven goals for the third consecutive contest, the Endicott field hockey team defeated cross-town and Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) foe Gordon 7-1 on Saturday to improve to 6-3 overall, and 2-0 in CCC play at the Brigham Athletic Complex.
The Gulls jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the first period as Jenna Seibold (Reading, Mass.) scored both, giving her eight on the season. Her first tally was unassisted and came just 52 seconds into play, while Brooke Yabroudy (Nashua, N.H.) and Sydney Poulin (Watertown, Mass.) assisted on the second, which came in the 13th minute of action.
Endicott would increase the lead for 4-0 at halftime after Blake Braman (Clinton, Conn.) scored her second of the season in the 28th minute, and Poulin notched her ninth just 40 seconds later at the 28:35 mark. Olivia Lampasona (Watertown, Mass.) and Jennifer Beardsley (Essex, Mass.) assisted on Braman's, their second and third assists of the campaign, respectively.
Following the Scots' lone goal in the 44th minute, the Gulls would respond with three fourth period goals, the first of which was scored by Claire Boncek (Hamden, Conn.) at the 45:26 mark, with the assist going to Beardsley. Poulin's second of the contest, and 10th of the year, came in the 56th minute, before Kathleen Reissfelder (Westwood, Mass.) scored her first collegiate goal in the 59th minute to conclude the scoring.
