Seahawks Field Hockey Secures Conference Win at Wilson

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. – The St. Mary's College of Maryland field hockey team clinched a spot in the 2024 United East Conference Field Hockey Championship Tournament with their shutout victory Wednesday afternoon (Oct. 16). St. Mary's College (5-9, 3-0 UEC) posted a 3-0 shutout at Wilson College (9-3, 2-1 UEC) behind two goals from junior forward Emma Watkins (Frederick, Md./Linganore) and four points from junior midfielder Josie Shermeyer (Harrisburg, Pa./East Pennsboro Area).
 
How It Happened
  • The Seahawks claimed a 1-0 lead at 7:57 when Shermeyer sent a pass up the middle of the circle and Watkins controlled it and put it in the back of the cage.
  • SMCM was held shotless in the second quarter and headed into halftime with the one-goal advantage.
  • St. Mary's College doubled its lead at the end of the third quarter as Shermeyer this time passed the ball from the right side of the circle to a wide-open Watkins, who finished for her second score of the game.
  • First-year goalkeeper Sophia Kent (Chesterville, Md./Gunston) turned away all three of Wilson's shots in the fourth to keep the hosts off the scoreboard while the Seahawks added another one with 19 seconds left in the game. Senior captain Charlotte Horn (Schnecksville, Pa./Northwestern Lehigh) found Shermeyer to her left and Shermeyer scored just inside of the left post.
