AMCAT Race Past Pride

Paxton, Mass.  – Junior Kylie Dalbec (Portland, Maine) potted a pair of goals and freshman Shelby Looney (Leicester, Mass.) netted her first collegiate tally to lead the AMCATS of Anna Maria College to a 5-0 win over Regis College in field hockey action at AMCAT Field. With the non-conference win the AMCATS record improves to 9-7, while the Pride drop to 2-11 on the season.

Senior Nichole Lowe (Saugus, Mass.) notched her team-best ninth assist on Dalbec's goal at 4:03 of the first half to give the AMCATS the early 1-0 lead. Sophomore Kayla Garczynski (Norwood, Mass.) would double the score at 18:17 with a blast from the top of the circle.

AMC's Dalbec would round out the first stanza scoring with a rocket to the right corner past Regis netminder Raegan Heck (Phillipston, Mass.). Freshman Sarah Bess (West Barnstable, Mass.) threaded a pass through to the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) leading scorer for her second assist of the season.

Anna Maria would add a pair of goals in the second period to seal the victory. Lowe added her ninth goal of the season at the 59:22 mark and Looney would tip the twine off a set corner play with less than five minutes remaining for the 5-0 final.

Anna Maria held the advantage in shot (22-8) and penalty corners (8-5).

The AMCAT duo of Mary Kate Breen (Londonderry, NH) and Bryanna Tobin (Deep River, Conn.) combined for the teams' sixth shutout of the season.

Anna Maria is back in action on Saturday afternoon when they travel to WPI for a 1:30 PM match-up.
