WALTHAM, Mass. (September 16, 2008)
– Junior forward Abbie DeMusis (Guilford, Conn./Guilford)
scored the game-winning goal on Tuesday night to lead Bentley to a
2-0, home victory over the Franklin Pierce University field hockey
team in Northeast-10 Conference play. Freshman goalkeeper Kristin Tormollan (Waterville,
Maine/Waterville) made eight saves for Franklin Pierce in
defeat.
Bentley opened the scoring with the only goal it would need with
just 1:58 remaining in the first half. Tormollan made the save on
the initial attack by the Falcons, but DeMusis was waiting for the
rebound and stuffed it home for her second goal of the season.
Bentley dominated play in the opening 35 minutes to the tune of an
8-2 shots advantage.
The Falcons would double the lead to 2-0 with 9:58 to play in
regulation. Once again, Tormollan made one save, but junior
midfielder Courtney Bartlett (Brunswick, Maine/St. Mark’s
School) collected the rebound and found the back of the cage to
score her second goal of the season.
Bentley held a 4-2 edge in shots in the second half, which gave
the Falcons a dominant, 12-4 advantage for the game.
Junior goalkeeper Alyssa Sliney (Brewster, Mass./Nauset Regional)
needed to make only three saves to earn the shutout in front of the
Bentley goal. Tormollan made eight saves for Franklin Pierce but
suffered the loss.
The Ravens (2-4, 2-3 NE-10) return to the field on Thursday, Sept.
18 when they travel to take on American International in a
