STANDISH, ME - Saint Joseph's (7-1, 3-0 NAC) topped in-state
rival University of Maine-Farmington (4-4, 2-1), 2-1, in a North
Atlantic Conference Field Hockey match at Lakeside Field on Monday
afternoon. Jillian Kimball '10
(Albany Township, ME) netted the game-clincher in the 41st minute
and Monks keeper Meaghan Johnson
'12 (Portland, ME/Cheverus) made three saves in the win.
The Beavers took a 1-0 lead when Alyssa St. Pierre '10 (Jay, ME)
snuck a shot into the bottom left corner of the net past
Johnson in the eighth minute of play. UMF
midfielder Ashley Wentworth '10 (North Berwick, ME) recorded an
assist on the play.
The one-goal cushion stood until Julia
Ostrowski '10 (Albany, NY) netted her team-leading
ninth goal of the year at the 24:35 mark. The swift senior evaded a
Farmington defender and slammed a shot to the middle of the net
past UMF netminder Felisha Taylor '13 (Chelsea, ME) to knot the
game at one apiece.
Kimball's game-winner came in the sixth minute of
the second stanza. The athletic defender dribbled to the top of the
circle and belted a hard shot to the left corner of the goal.
The Monks maintained the slim cushion for the final 24 minutes of
play, as a stifling SJC defense didn't allow a UMF shot on net for
the remainder of the contest.
Saint Joseph's held the edge in shots (8-7) and penalty corners in
the triumph.
St. Joe's will host University of Southern Maine on Thursday at
3:30 PM, while UMF is set to host NAC rival Husson University on
Wednesday at 4:00 PM.
