NEW LONDON, N.H. – Simmons University Field Hockey traveled up to New Hampshire to play the Chargers of Colby-Sawyer College (CSC) in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) play. The Sharks fell behind early and nearly mounted a comeback, but fell 3-2.

How It Happened

• The Chargers struck first in the opening frame before the Sharks quieted the home team for the remainder of the frame. 
• CSC added one more less than two minutes into the second to lead 2-0. Keeper Haley Bright became a brick wall, making three critical saves to leave the score at 2-0 at halftime.
• After a scoreless third, Nora Desrosiers split the deficit in half after a pass from Katy Paveglio (2-1). Two minutes later the home team regained the two score advantage (3-1). Not backing down, the Sharks' Penelope Long found teammate Paveglio to come within one, but the Chargers were able to hold on for the narrow win.

Beyond The Box Score

• Katy Paveglio recorded her first collegiate game with both a goal and an assist today. 
• First year Nora Desrosiers has now scored a goal in three straight games. 
• The Sharks play next on Wednesday, October 1 at 5 p.m. against the Regis College Pride at Daly Field.
