Griffins earn bid to NEPSAC tourney
POMFRET — For the second year in a row, the Pomfret School field hockey team earned a bid to the NEPSAC tournament. As the 8th seed, Pomfret lost to the #1 team, Rivers School (Weston, Mass.) 4-1 Nov. 13.
Rivers only gave up five goals in the regular season as they entered the tournament with an undefeated (15-0-1) record, having beaten Pomfret earlier in the season.
Rivers got on the board first with a goal at 18:48 which energized the home crowd but did not deter Pomfret.
Six minutes later, Pomfret earned a corner and pressured the defense enough to result in a penalty stroke call. Emma McLean, ’22, calmly stepped to the line and buried the ball to even the game 1-1.
Rivers scored two more goals before the half on corners for a 3-1 lead; then added one more in the second for the 4-1.
Rivers went on to win the NEPSAC Class B Tournament over the weekend to remain undefeated and outscoring their opponents 50- 8 on the season.
With only six seniors graduating, Pomfret School is primed to return in 2020 with another competitive team.
