Newton, M.A. – The Lasell University Field Hockey team remained undefeated on Saturday. Afternoon with a 6-1 victory over GNAC foe, Colby Sawyer. With the win the Lasers are now 8-0 in GNAC play and 11-0 overall. The Chargers are now 8-3 and 5-2.

It took the Lasers a couple minutes to get going, but Abbey Playle continued to do what she has done all year long and kickstarted the offense with a goal in the first quarter, her 15th of the year.

The Lasers found their groove after that, scoring three of their six goals in the second quarter. That started with a goal from Sheridan Blaha, assisted by Lily Stark. Three minutes later, Playle buried her second of the game to give the Lasers a 3-0 lead. Playle would then assist Blaha on her second goal of the game less than a minute later.

After a late Colby-Sawyer goal to make it 4-1 at the half, the Lasers opened up with a goal in the third quarter and it would be Blaha again, making it back to back games with a hat trick for her.

Lasell capped off their big senior day win with a goal off the stick of senior Maddie Sewade, for her first career collegiate goal, a goal that produced the largest cheer of the day from a packed crowd. That would seal the win for the Lasers 6-1.

Goalie Courtney Tello saved 10 shots for the Lasers, while Paige Jette and McKensie Lennon each had two defensive saves, and Isabella O'Reilly and Kaleigh Miller each had one.
