BEVERLY, Mass. - September 10, 2011 - The Colby-Sawyer field hockey team fell at Endicott, 3-0 at North Field on Saturday afternoon.

Freshman forward Emily Sawchuck (Cumberland, Maine) scored two goals to lead the Gulls.

Sawchuck started off the scoring in the 7th minute of the game, firing a hard shot to the lower right corner of the net past Chargers goalie Colleen O'Hurley (Weare, N.H.) to put Endicott on the board.

The Gulls took a 1-0 lead into halftime after holding Colby-Sawyer to no shots over the first 35 minutes. O'Hurley was active in net, making seven saves in the first half while allowing just the lone goal.

In the second half, however, the Blue and Green tacked on two more goals to make the game out of reach for Colby-Sawyer. At 54:32, junior midfielder Cassie DeSimone (Reading, Mass.) received a pass from Taylor Matties (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) on a penalty corner attempt and directed a low strike to the left corner of the cage for her first tally for the season.

In the 64th minute, Sawchuck scored on a rebound shot off the goalie's pads after teammate Hannah Thornberg's (Oakland, Maine) initial attempt was saved. Thornberg was credited for an assist on Sawchuck's third goal of the year.

In net for Endicott, junior Taylor Teixeira (Exeter, N.H.) made three saves in earning her first win of the year. Colby-Sawyer's O'Hurley finished with 10 saves. Freshman Hannah Coggins (West Newbury, Mass.) chipped in a stellar individual defensive save for the Chargers.
