Pasko’s Career Night Lifts SMCM Field Hockey Over Meredith

ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. – Sophomore forward Elena Pasko (New Freedom, Pa./Susquehannock) had herself a game Thursday night (Oct. 17) in leading the St. Mary's College of Maryland field hockey team to their third straight victory. St. Mary's College (6-9) notched a 7-0 non-conference shutout over Meredith College (3-8) as Pasko tallied a goal and dished out a career-best three assists.
 
Prior to the start of the game, the Seahawks recognized their four seniors – defenders Bryce Carlin (Baltimore, Md./Friends) and Charlotte Horn (Schnecksville, Pa./Northwestern Lehigh), goalkeeper Kaley Christman (Jefferson, Md./Brunswick), and student assistant Brigid Mulholland (Silver Spring, Md.) – for their years of dedication and leadership.

  • St. Mary's College ended the first quarter with a 3-0 lead as Watkins struck again at 12:23, one-timing a pass from junior forward Ally Rice (New Market, Md./Oakdale).
  • Early in the second period, Pasko gave SMCM a four-goal advantage as she putback the rebound for her first-ever as a Seahawk.
  • Meredith generated its only two offensive scoring opportunities of the game midway through the second frame but were unable to find the back of the goal and St. Mary's College went into halftime with a 4-0 lead.
  • Ziegler notched her second score of the game at 36:53 as she tapped in Pasko's pass.
  • The Seahawks tacked on their final two goals in the fourth when junior midfielder Sofia Lopez (Timonium, Md./Dulaney) and Rice joined the party at 52:22 and 57:02, respectively.
