Field Hockey Suffers Another One Goal Defeat at Westfield
Framingham, Mass.– The host Westfield State field hockey team defeated Framingham State by a score of 1-0 in Little East action Wednesday evening at Alumni Field in Westfield. This is the seventh one-goal loss the Rams have suffered this season.
THE BASICS:
- Score: Westfield State 1, Framingham State 0
- Records: Framingham State (4-10, 1-9 LEC), Westfield State (8-7, 7-2 LEC)
- Location: Alumni Field – Westfield, Mass.
HOW IT HAPPENED:
-
The Owls peppered the Framingham cage all night, but Framingham goalie Grace Pushor (Old Town, Maine) was up to the task, making 21 saves.
-
Westfield finally broke through on its 30th, and what proved to be final, shot of the game. On the penalty corner, Corryn Moroney (South Hadley, Mass.) pushed a pass towards the goal in heavy traffic, where Cheryl Latona (Granby, Conn.) buried it at the left post. It was Latona's team-leading 10th goal of the season.
-
Westfield's defense held the fort at the other end of the field, with Bre Foley (South Hadley, Mass.) coming up with a defensive save in a late barrage from the Rams, Colleen Fellows (Auburn, Mass.) deflected a hard, lifted shot out of mid-air, and then Morgan Wichmann (Granby, Conn.) stole the ball from a Framingham attacker near the top of the circle with a minute left in regulation, and the Owls were able to run out the clock to preserve the victory.
-
Westfield State senior goalkeeper Riley Goulet (Marion, Mass.) made four saves to earn the shutout, her third of the season.

The Rams return to the field next Tuesday when they host Eastern Connecticut State in Little East Action starting at 7pm.
