Owls Defeat Rams in Field Hockey

By Larry Miller

Westfield State junior Holly Brouillette scored two goals and assisted on another en route to a 5-1 victory over Framingham State at Maple St. Field on Saturday afternoon.

The contest was the Little East Conference opener for both squads.

The Owls improve to 2-1 (1-0 LEC) while the Rams fall to 0-3 (0-1 LEC).

Brouillette’s two unassisted goals sent the Owls to the half up 2-0 in an otherwise uneventful first half. Westfield sophomore Megan Evans found the back of the net early in the second stanza with Brouillette assisting on the goal.

The Rams rebounded when freshman Sydney Buono scored her first career goal with an assist from Meaghann Ackerman.

The Owls quickly responded when sophomore Rachel Testa scored the first of her two goals on the day.

The Owls outshot the Rams 14-6 and attempted 6 penalty corners to Framingham State’s 5.

The Rams will host Roger Williams on Monday, Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. in a makeup game that was originally scheduled for September 10.
