Field Hockey Gets Blanked By Gordon

WENHAM, MA. -- Veronica Pierce and Brianne Gilbert both scored twice for Gordon and Anna Bury had a shutout in net, as Gordon defeated Becker 4-0 Thursday night at the Brigham Athletic Complex.  The win was Gordon's second straight shutout and moves the team to 5-10 on the season.  The visiting Hawks drop to 4-10.

Pierce scored on a penalty corner from Clara Baker just 2:55 into the game to stake Gordon to an early lead.  The next two goals came from Gilbert, one shortly before the end of the first half and the next shortly after the beginning of the second half.  Pierce concluded the scoring in the 68th minute scoring off another pass from Baker.

Anna Bury was rarely tested for Gordon, as she needed only two saves to pick up the shutout.  Megan Wernig had a defensive save for Gordon.

Becker's goalkeeper Nakita Gosselin had a busy day in net for the Hawks and she made 16 saves on the night.

Gordon will return to conference play on Saturday when they play the University of New England at 11A.M. in Biddeford, Maine.
