Reid leads Gulls to 2-1 win

Box Score

BIDDEFORD, Maine - Junior forward \#Joanne Reid\# (Clarksville, Md.) scored off a penalty corner with 19:09 remaining to give the Endicott College Gulls a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the University of New England Nor'easters in a The Commonwealth Coast Conference field hockey game played Saturday. The win snaps a three-game losing streak for the Gulls, who square their overall record at 4-4 and improve to 2-1 in conference matches. UNE falls to 4-2, 2-1 in TCCC play.

With the scored tied at 1-all, Reid tallied her team-leading fifth goal from three yards inside the circle after the Gulls were awarded a penalty corner. Sophomore \#Anna Giannoni\# (Granby, Conn.) and \#Cassie DeSimone\# (Reading, Mass.) were credited with assists on the play.

Giannoni scored the first goal of the game by converting from close range at 8:04 of the first half to give the visitors a 1-0 advantage.

The score remained that way until 13:12 into the second frame when junior Cassandra Bushey (North Hartland, Vt.) tallied her first goal of the season to knot the match (1-1).

Endicott’s goalkeeper \#Taylor Teixeira\# (Exeter, N.H.) made three stops to earn the victory. Her counterpart, junior Ayla Nelson (Auburn, Mass.), turned away four shots for the Nor'easters.

The Gulls held a slim 12-9 margin in shots, while each squad earned five penalty corners.

Endicott will look to climb over .500 Thursday when it hosts MIT for a non-conference game beginning at 6:00 p.m. UNE heads to Thomas College that same afternoon for a 4:00 p.m. start.
