Top Five Flashback: Field Hockey #1

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 University field hockey clinched the fourth and final spot in the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) postseason with a 4-1 victory over visiting Nichols College on Wednesday evening at Gaudet Field. Nichols scored the game's first goal at 6:49, just the fourth first-half goal of the season for the Bison. Salve Regina tied the game less than five minutes later, and added three unanswered goals in the second half.

Salve Regina freshman Ashley Cody (Pawling, N.Y.) scored her sixth and seventh goals of the season, both in the second half, to give the Seahawks breathing room. Junior Amber Cody (Pawling, N.Y.) scored the game-winning goal (her team-leading 18th goal of the season) and assisted on her sister's first goal of the night.
