Samantha Taylor Contributes to Lasell Field Hockey 7-0 Win

2017 Sep 25

The Lasell field hockey team kept their undefeated streak alive with a 7-0 victory against Rivier University in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) action Saturday afternoon at Raider Field. The Lasers improve to 8-0 and 3-0 in conference play, with their sixth clean sheet of the season. The Raiders fall to 1-6 on the year and 0-3 in the GNAC.

Lasell did most of the damage in the first half as they found the back of the net five times, three of which came off the stick of sophomore Samantha Taylor (Hanover, Mass.). Sophomore Brooke Landry (New Milford, Conn.) and freshman Claire Shepard (Huntington Beach, Calif.) recorded the other two first half goals as they took a commanding 5-0 lead at the half. Shepard and junior Nikki Pignone (Ipswich, Mass.) would be the recipients of the second half tallies to account for all of the scoring.

Lasell senior goalkeepers Denise Landry (New Milford, Conn.) and Brianna Kulvete (Templeton, Mass.) combined for the shutout as Kulvete stopped all three Raider shots on net.
