Senior standout goalie Tierney Hogan made her 200th save of the season and her 270th career save tonight and we were able to celebrate her achievement as a team on Senior night!
Scoring
1st quarter 3:01 left goal MJ Reilly unassisted
2nd quarter 2:50 left goal Reilly assist Ella Gould
2nd quarter 1:00 left goal Ella Gould assist Olivia Torres
4th quarter 11:02 left goal Gould assist Torpey

With the Bears pressuring in the first quarter, Melissa Torpey took a hard shot from close range that rebounded off the goalie and MJ Reilly was in perfect position to scoop it up and put the ball past the keeper. “We practice getting rebounds off the keeper with our shooting drills that include tippers and MJ is one of our best at getting the rebound and scoring.”
The 2nd goal was scored off a corner when Ella Gould inserted to MJ Reilly and she scored off a hard shot to the cage.
Senior Ella Gould played hard at multiple positions scoring 2 goals and having the insert assist. Ella is an integral part of our penalty corners as she is the inserter (and sometimes tipper) on offense and our flyer on defensive corners. The 3rd goal was scored when Ella inserted the ball, then Olivia Torres took a hard shot to goal and Ella tipped the ball up in the air to space in the net. The 4th goal was scored off another hard shot by Torpey that Ella Gould tipped in for the final UM goal. Senior Sarah Hodum got the game ball for working hard, great positioning and solid redefending at forward.
Defenders Addi Gans and Abby Kelly played awesome on their senior night making solid tackles and sending the ball up the field. Halfway through the game, Addi Gans switched to defensive mid where she did a superb job on free hits and keeping the ball in the offensive zone.
William Tennent came on strong toward the end of the game and scored with 3:30 left in the game.
