HENNIKER, N.H. (10/13/15) – The Lasell College field hockey team topped New England College 3-1 in non-conference action on Tuesday afternoon at Don Melander Field. With the win, the Lasers even out at 7-7 while the Pilgrims sink to 2-13.
Senior Danielle Hottin (North Branford, Conn.) lined up for a penalty corner with 3:20 left in the first half, which resulted in a shot freshman Cailin Flannery (Medford, N.J.). An initial save from NEC sophomore netminder Michaela Clark (Dorchester, Mass.) kept the hosts out of trouble for the time being, however Ceppetelli would find the back of the net on the rebound for the go-ahead goal just before halftime.
Sophomore Denise Landry (New Milford, Conn.) recorded seven saves in between the pipes for Lasell, while Clark had 11 stops in the effort for New England College.
Both teams return to conference action on Saturday, October 17. The Lasers will host Saint Joseph's College (Maine) at 12:00 p.m. as part of Lasell's Family, Friends, and Alumni weekend, while the Pilgrims travel to Thomas College at 1:00 p.m.
