No. Andover, Mass. (October 13) -- On a blustery Warrior Field on Saturday evening, the Saint Anselm field hockey team picked up a 2-1 win over Merrimack to improve to 6-9 overall and 6-8 in league play. The Hawks, under the direction of first-year head coach Kathryn Gaudreau, set the single-season school record for Northeast-10 victories with the win and remain in the Northeast-10 playoff hunt with two regular-season games remaining.

The Warriors took the lead in the opening minutes when Jaclyn Germano scored off a penalty corner for her third goal of the season at the 7:10 mark. The Hawks tied things up quickly though at 10:59 with an unassisted score from Karrie Muma (N. Falmouth, Mass.), her fourth goal of the season. Saint Anselm kept the pressure on and just 1:04 later, freshman Annie Heaney (East Kingston, N.H.) scored her fourth goal of the season to give the Hawks the lead for good. Maggie Dwyer (Elkridge, Md.) assisted on the game-winning goal.

Merrimack outshot the Hawks by a 12-6 margin, but were led defensively by netminder Riley Haddock (Falmouth, Maine) and her eight-save performance. Ellen Maruszewski (Leominster, Mass.) came up big defensively as well with a pair of defensive saves in the game.

The Hawks are back in action on Tuesday, October 16th when Bryant visits Manchester for the team's final home game of the season and Senior Day. Senior co-captain Michele Baca (Franklin, N.H.) will be recognized prior to the start of the game, which is slated to begin at 4 p.m.
