Field Hockey Concludes Season with 4-0 Loss at Springfield

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Clark University field hockey (10-9, 1-8 NEWMAC) closed out its season on the road against Springfield College (12-6, 6-3 NEWMAC) on Saturday afternoon. The Pride opened the scoring in the second quarter and pulled away late in the third to secure a 4-0 win.

How it Happened

  • Just three and a half minutes in, the Pride registered the first shot on goal, but junior Rachel Reiter was there to make the save. 
  • Springfield generated two more shots in the first period, with one sailing narrowly wide and the other blocked, as the first quarter ended scoreless.

  • The Cougars got their first chance early in the second quarter when senior Elizabeth Cacciapaglia fired a shot on goal off a penalty corner that was saved away.

  • Reiter answered thirty seconds later with a huge one-on-one save to keep the game scoreless.

  • The Pride broke through with just over three minutes left in the half, as Sarah Healy slapped down a high ball into the bottom right corner of the cage to make it 1-0.

  • It would be the last shot of the half, as Springfield carried the lead into the break.

  • Springfield kept the pressure on to start the second half, but Reiter came up big again with another one-on-one save.

  • The Cougars added their second shot on goal of the game a few minutes later, as senior Alison Kopec created space and rifled a shot off the goalie.

  • With under five minutes left in the third, Springfield blew the game open—first with Hailey Gaydos scoring from the near side off a feed from Nicolette Morlock.

  • Just two minutes later, the Pride extended their lead to 3-0 on a two-on-none breakaway, as Gaydos' second goal slipped past despite Reiter getting a piece of it.

  • Both teams registered shots on goal early in the fourth, but both goalies made key saves to keep the score unchanged.

  • That changed when Rachel Simkewicz worked her way into the shooting circle and buried a shot into a small window to make it 4-0 Springfield.
