Yesterday afternoon our Bants faced regional foe, Eastern Connecticut State College and came out on top, 17-3. Eastern has always provided formidable competition in the past and we were surely not looking past them to the weekend conference competition.
Knowing we had to stay focused and crisp, we jumped out to a 7-0 lead early in the first half, led by Remer and Jenn. Notching her first goal of the season, Kristin provided steady play in the midfield attack.
After a brief let down on defense, we got right back on the scoreboard and rattled off seven more goals before halftime, highlighted by a great finish by Carrie W., for her first goal of the season!!
Our defensive effort was tremendous, led by Mish in goal. She came up with some really nice saves and jump started the fast break. The team defense was much stronger today, showing some great teamwork on doubles in transition and in settled defense. It was great to see everyone work together to keep Eastern off the scoreboard.
The rookies stole the show in the second half, doing a nice job of transitioning and moving the ball on offense. Kristin was able to put a second tally on the score board and Carly Cam came away with her first collegiate goal on one of the more impressive scores of the game!
All said it was a great team effort, proving that we are ready to take on Bates on Saturday in Lewiston, ME. Should be a chilly, windy and wet day - par for the course! Hope to see some of you there.
