St. Mary's City, Md. - It was a memorable day
for the 2007 seniors as the St. Mary's College of Maryland field
hockey team posted a 3-0 shutout win over the visiting Yellow
Jackets of Randolph-Macon College Sunday afternoon in
non-conference action.
Prior to the start of the contest, St. Mary's recognized its six
seniors: Ali Femi (Easton, Md./Easton),
Mary Lyle Jeanes (Orange, Va./Orange County),
Halley Pack (Frederick, Md./Frederick),
Emily Richards (Silver Spring, Md./Springbrook),
Amy Skrickus (Arnold, Md./Broadneck) and
Marianne Wood (Wakefield, Mass./Wakefield).
This group of seniors has amassed thus far a four-year mark of 44
wins and 20 losses.
The Seahawks (10-4) started the scoring early as Wood notched
her first of the day at 2:40 when she popped the ball over R-MC's
diving junior goalie Ashley Crouch (Chester,
Va./Thomas Dale). Femi gave St. Mary's a 2-0 lead at 5:15 as
she tallied her team-leading 11th goal of the season by
putting back a loose ball.
Following those two early goals, the play went back-and-forth
and the Hawks held on for the 2-0 halftime lead.
Wood picked up her second unassisted goal of the day at 52:20
when she redirected a rebound to the back of the cage.
St. Mary's boasted a 16-7 shot advantage, while the Yellow
Jackets (6-9) held a 7-4 margin on penalty corners.
Richards finished with five saves, while Pack tallied one
defensive save for the Hawks. Crouch ended the game with
seven stops in the loss.
The Seahawks will return to action next Sunday, October 28 when
St. Mary's, as the second seed in the upcoming Capital Athletic
Conference Tournament, entertains seventh-seeded Hood
College. Game time has yet to be determined.
