Allen Hat Trick Carries SMCM Field Hockey to Senior Day Victory

St. Mary’s College Locks Up the No. 1 Seed

ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. – Senior forward Briana Allen (Bowie, Md./Mount de Sales) registered career-highs of three goals and seven points in leading the St. Mary's College of Maryland field hockey team to their fifth consecutive conference regular-season championship title. St. Mary's College (11-5, 4-0 UEC) blanked Wilson College (5-9, 2-2 UEC), 5-0, in the regular-season finale on Senior Day.
 
Prior to the start of the game, the Seahawks recognized their nine seniors – Allen, Sofia Lopez (Timonium, Md./Dulaney), Elena Pasko (New Freedom, Pa./Susquehannock), Emma Watkins (Frederick, Md./Linganore), Brenna Ziegler (Newark, Del./Newark Charter), Fiona Kortyna (Pittsburgh, Pa./Pine Richland), Josie Shermeyer (Harrisburg, Pa./East Pennsboro), Ally Rice (New Market, Md./Oakdale), and Jena Vanskiver (Fallston, Md./Fallston) – for their years of dedication and leadership.
 
By securing its fifth straight league regular-season championship title, SMCM stretches its undefeated conference record to 26-0 and claim the top seed in the conference playoffs for the fifth consecutive season. St. Mary's College has not lost a conference game since a 1-0 loss to Christopher Newport University on Oct. 30, 2019, when the Seahawks were still members of the Capital Athletic Conference. SMCM went 17-0 in the Atlantic East Conference and in two seasons in the United East, St. Mary's College is 9-0.
 
The Seahawks will face No. 4 seed Lancaster Bible College (3-12, 1-3 UEC) in the semifinals of the 2025 United East Field Hockey Championship Tournament on Sat., Nov. 1, at the Jamie L. Roberts Stadium. Game time and ticket prices will be announced later.
