Top Five Flashback: Field Hockey #4

NEWPORT, R.I. - Salve Regina University athletics resumes its summer series with a daily flashback to the top five moments of 2016-17 for each of its 19 varsity sports. Beginning with Memorial Day (Monday, May 29, 2017) and finishing with the final day of August, 95 moments (19 x 5) will be shared to relive the most exciting happenings of the most recent Seahawk season.

Salve Regina field hockey engineered its eight victory all-time against Endicott, 4-3, on Saturday, October 15.

Sarah Thompson (Clinton, Conn.) converted a penalty stroke to break a 2-2 tie in the 51st minute. Five minutes later Amber Cody (Pawling, N.Y.) fired in her sixteenth goal of the season off a rebound to give the Seahawks a little breathing room. That breathing room became the difference in the game when the Gulls' Melanie Kaleta (Bellingham, Mass.) scored two minutes later. The Seahawks faced six more shots and a penalty corner the rest of the way, with Jessie Severino (Branford, Conn.) making two saves to preserve the 4-3 victory.
