Field Hockey Blanks Mount Holyoke, 3-0

NORTHAMPTON — Smith College (8-8, 3-5) secured a 3-0 home victory over rival Mount Holyoke College (4-10, 0-7) Tuesday evening in NEWMAC action. Goalkeeper Iseul Park (Ann Arbor, MI/) made five saves to record her fifth shutout of the year. 

First Half Highlights

This marked Day's 12th goal of the season, capitalizing on a penalty corner opportunity. Throughout the quarter, the Bears applied consistent pressure, with Halie Yung (San Jose, CA/Lynbrook) and Ellie Szostalo (Gorham, ME/Gorham) both having shots saved by Mount Holyoke's goalkeeper, Ainsley Gruener.
  • Smith maintained an aggressive attack in the second quarter, with Sam Sparling (Croton on Hudson, NY/Croton Harmon) and Day each making multiple attempts on goal. Despite a series of shots and penalty corners, including a penalty shot by Annika Peterson (Forest Hill, MD/North Harford), Mount Holyoke's defense held firm, aided by Gruener's consistent goalkeeping and Linnea Alsted's defensive saves.

Gemma Polino (Hadley, MA/Williston Northampton) found the back of the net at 40:23, assisted by Sparling, marking her first goal of the season and extending Smith's lead. Shortly after, Peterson added to the scoreboard with another goal at 42:55, further solidifying the home team's advantage.
  • Despite Mount Holyoke's attempt to respond, including a shot saved by Park, the Bears maintained control. The quarter concluded with Smith leading 3-0, showcasing a robust defensive and offensive effort.
