    BIDDEFORD, MAINE — The Endicott field hockey team outlasted the University of New England (UNE), 1-0, in double overtime in the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Championship game on Saturday afternoon at Blue Bolt Field. 

    In a hard-fought championship battle tied at zero heading into the second extra session, Meaghan Hogan (Chesire, Conn.) finally broke the seal for the Gulls after firing a shot off a rebound from Olivia Lampasona (Watertown, Mass.) to capture Endicott's third consecutive CCC Championship. 

    Prior to the game-clinching goal, Claire Boncek (Hamden, Conn.) had a crucial defensive save in the third period of play (35:11) that kept the Nor'easters off the board.

    Overall, the game was even throughout with Endicott slightly edging UNE in shots (16-14) and penalty corners (10-8). 

    Meanwhile, in goal for the Gulls, Taylor Farrin (Danvers, Mass.) stopped eight shots, including a leaping one-handed save, to help secure the championship victory (11-6). 

    BEYOND THE BOX 

    • Endicott leads the all-time series against UNE, 19-16, and has now evened the CCC Championship series against the Nor'Easters (3-3). 
    • This is the second time in program history Endicott has blanked an opponent in the CCC title game (11/3/21, 1-0 vs. UNE). 
    • Blake Braman (Clinton, Conn.), Abby Carter (Richmond, Vt.), Farrin, Sydney Poulin (Watertown, Mass.), and Allison Wales (Southport, Conn.) have won three championships in their Endicott tenure. 
    • The Gulls have won five championships in the past 10 years, all of which have come under head coach Jodi Cipolla who is in year 15 at the helm.
