Griffin field
hockey team
has 2-0 week
POMFRET — The Pomfret School field hockey team had a successful week finishing with two wins to move the season record to 8-7. With four regular-season games remaining, Pomfret hopes to finish strong and earn an invitation to the New England tournament.
Oct. 23 Pomfret hosted Portsmouth Abbey (RI) and came away with a solid 5-0 victory. The balanced scoring by Cate Gallagher ’22, Bailey Sheehan ’21, Hannah Twombly ’21, Brooke Zahansky ’21, and Emma McLean ’22 speaks to the team effort on the afternoon. Goalie Kayla Doan ’21 earned the shutout with two saves.
Oct. 26 the team hosted the always competitive and athletic squad from Worcester Academy. Worcester totally dominated the game last year and quickly got on the board with a goal four minutes into the game. Pomfret responded well and dominated for the rest of the game with an 18-11 shot advantage and a 10-5 corner advantage. The Worcester goalie came up with a number of fantastic saves, but the Pomfret pressure was too much. Goals were scored by Hannah Twombly, Genevieve Becker ’20, and a stroke by Emma McLean to seal the win. Kayla Doan earned another win in the goal.
Pomfret will host Miss Porter’s School (Farmington) Nov. 2 in its Senior Game.
