NASHUA, N.H. - September 28, 2016 - The Colby-Sawyer field hockey team completed a record breaking first month of the season after Wednesday's 6-0 triumph at Rivier. 

The Chargers have won four in a row for the second time this season and tied a program record for wins in a season with last year's team after improving to 8-2. Colby-Sawyer will travel to UMaine-Farmington on Saturday for a pivotal North Atlantic Conference (NAC) contest. Rivier drops to 3-7 and will return to Great Northeast Athletic Conference play on Saturday night with a 6 p.m. home game against Johnson & Wales.

The team recorded 15 points on six goals and three assists tonight, which set single season records for points (107) and goals (44) with a month of action still remaining. 
 
Colby-Sawyer's Rachel Fisher scored the eventual game-winner at 27:11 in the first half when she knocked home an Alie Jones pass for the 1-0 lead.
 
The Chargers offense erupted over the final 35 minutes as they scored five times in a nine minute span. Ashley Mikkila netted an unassisted tally at 48:00 followed by a pair of Paige Viens goals (52:42 & 57:42) and Sierra Schuster's lone goal of the game. The flurry came to an end at 57:57 when Jones scored an unassisted goal of her own to account for all the scoring. Jones now has a single season record 23 points and 10 goals. Jordan Teixeira assisted on the second goal by Viens. The assist improved Teixeira's career record to 11.
