NEW LONDON, N.H.  – The Colby-Sawyer field hockey team soared to victory on Saturday afternoon 3-1 over the University of Saint Joseph. 

Rapid Recap: 
  • The Chargers saw the first two opportunities to score as sophomore Cecilia Ponzini would fire a shot just wide, and first year Aubrey Fischer (Weare, N.H.) would follow missing just wide as well.

Minutes later senior Aleah Murph would strike a solo putting the Chargers up 2-0. Throughout the remainder of the first half the Chargers would fire four more shots on target to be turned away by the goalie.

Murph would rip a shot off of a feed from first year Abby Olden (Belchertown, Mass.) to put the Chargers up 3-0. Sophomore Sabrina Lippold (Windham, N.H.) would fire a shot at the Bluejays keeper but be turned away before the quarter would come to a close.
