Framingham, Mass. — The Framingham State University field hockey team opened the 2010 season at home today with a 2-0 shutout loss to the St. Joseph's College (ME) Monks. The Rams are now 0-1 on young season, while the Monks are 1-0.
The Monks controlled the pace of the game as they maintained possession in the Rams end of the field for most of the afternoon. They outshot the host Rams 17-6 in the contest including 10-1 in the second half. Framingham State senior goalie Allesha Kenyon (Westford, Mass.) made 13 saves in the game to keep the Rams close, but the Rams could not generate much offense.
St. Joseph's took a 1-0 lead just over five minutes into the game as senior Kayla Nowell (Bridgton, ME) converted a penalty stroke for her first goal of the season. That would be the game's only goal until late in the second half when junior Sarah Bartell (Exeter, NH) converted a pass from Olivia Tourangeau (Old Orchard Beach, ME) into her first goal of the season.
Junior Meaghan Johnson (Portland, ME) picked up the shutout win in the cage for the Monks making five saves.
The Rams return to action on Tuesday as they travel to the University of New England at 7 p.m., while the Monks host Lasell on September 11th at 1 p.m.
