NEW LONDON, NH - The Colby-Sawyer women's field hockey team returned home after a tough loss to host Lasell University in a Great Northeast Athletic Conference match-up where they came away with the win 4-0.

Rapid Recap:

• The Chargers almost opened up the games scoring with a goal in the first thirty seconds as they were looking to bounce back after a tough loss last game. This led to two other shots made by the Chargers before one minute was passed in the game. The Chargers were trying to make a statement early and wanted to find that first goal. The Lasers were there to come away with a stop every time the Chargers sent a beautiful ball into the attacking end. The game was held scoreless in the first half as the Chargers found opportunities, but could not get past the defense.
• The second half opened up with even more pressure coming from the Chargers as they found the first goal of the game made by Taylor Gaudette (North Conway, N.H.) off an assist from stand out freshmen Brooke Farquhar (Gorham, Maine). The Chargers found another goal a minute and a half later on a penalty corner this time scored by Ava Bennett (Hampstead, N.H.) who was assisted by Farquhar. The Chargers would go on to end the 3rd period with another goal scored by Bennett on a penalty corner this time assisted by Sabrina Lippold (Windham, N.H.) 
• The Chargers would come away with a 4-0 victory after finding their fourth and final goal in the 4th period off another assist from Farquhar who found Abby Olden (Belchertown, Mass.) this time to put this game away. Starting goalkeeper Ashlee Blashock (Lebanon, N.H.) recorded 4 saves in net for the Chargers.

Inside the Numbers:

• Farquhar ended the game with three assists giving her a new career high and placing her tied for 4th for assists in a single game.
• Blashock continued her dominance in goal for the Chargers recording her 5th shutout tying her for most in a single season.
• The Chargers picked up a defensive save recorded by Ava Bennett who was everywhere tallying two goals as well as the defensive save.

Post Game Press:
"I think we had the capability to win our last game, but unfortunately it didn't end the way we wanted it to." Said Ava Bennett. "Our team has been really good at bouncing back when things get hard and we definitely showcased that today! We were able to capitalize in the second and third quarters with high energy and hunger to get the ball in the back of the net. It was an overall great game and we definitely have more to prove this season as a team! I believe we can make it all the way!!"
