No. 11 Babson Holds Off Smith Field Hockey, 3-0

BABSON PARK, Mass.—  The 11th-ranked Babson College field hockey team defeated visiting Smith College, 3-0, in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) action on Saturday afternoon at MacDowell Field. With its fifth straight win, Babson improves to 12-3 overall and 6-0 in league play, while Smith slips to 8-5 overall and 3-2 in the NEWMAC.

HOW THEY SCORED

9:21 - BABSON - The Green and White jumped on top when Cate Diamond poked home a rebound at the back post following a corner for her second goal of the year. Ashley Tango had her initial shot blocked and Smith goalkeeper Channy Cornell (Arlington, Tex./The Oakridge School) denied senior Catherine Gilman but the ball came loose and Diamond put it away for a 1-0 edge.

65:06 - BABSON - Tori Roche redirected a blast by Tango.

67:00 - BABSON - Tango ripped a shot past Cornell following a corner by the Beavers.

First-year goalkeeper Cassidy Riley made a pair of strong stops in the opening half for Babson, kicking away a shot by senior Alex Larosee (Warwick, R.I./The Wheeler School) in the 15th minute and coming off her line to make a pad save on senior Beatrice Chaudoin's (Millersville, Md./Severna Park) blast following a corner in the 23rd minute to keep the hosts in front. Smith's best second-half scoring chance came with just over 10 minutes to go, but Beavers' senior Lauren Drakeley tracked back to break up Larosee's chance from the right side of the circle.

NOTABLE
  • Cornell turned away 11 shots for the Pioneers.
  • Riley made three saves to earn her fifth shutout of the year for the Beavers.
  • The Green and White finished with a 23-7 edge in shots and held an 11-7 advantage in penalty corners.
  • The Beavers are 20-19-1 all-time against Smith and have won 17 of the last 19 meetings between the programs.
