Monks Post Overtime Win over Husson

Standish, ME - The SJC field hockey squad got back on track with a 4-3 overtime win over visiting Husson College today. FY Maria Arsenault (Berlin, NH) led the Monks with a pair of goals and an assist. SJC keeper FY Kathleen Simoes (Wakefield, MA) made nine impressive saves to ensure the victory.

St. Joe's (4-1) got on the board eight minutes into play as Arsenault connected on a pass from SO Julia Ostrowski (Albany, NY) and SR captain Darcey Ward (Dresden, ME) followed less than two minutes later with a goal off a pass from JR captain Gina Gaetani (Auburn, ME) to put the Monks up 2-0.

FY Skye Ellis (Belfast, ME) netted a pass from JR Erica Dorso (Farmingdale, ME) at 12:32 for the Eagles (1-2) and the score remained locked at 2-1 until eleven minutes into the second half.

Ward found Arsenault off a penalty corner to extend the SJC lead to 3-1 at 46:57, but Ellis kept the Eagles in it with a goal, again assisted by Dorso.

Husson tied the score at 3-3 after Dorso found SO Sarah Hessert (Hampden, ME) with just over eight minutes to play in regulation. The Monks threatened several times in the final two minutes, but failed to convert.

FY Courtney Rague (Old Orchard Beach, ME) drilled a pass from Arsenault into the back of the net for the sudden-death victory at 81:30.
