Hi guys!
My name is Sarah Croutier and I am a senior attacker! First I wanted to thank coach for asking me to for our team’s blog!
As Lauren stated in her previous blog, our season is divided into different segments: non-league, league, tournament, and NCAA’s. We are coming to the end of our non-league segment and are really getting pumped for MAAC play!
Over the past few weeks, the girls have been working really hard and giving it their all both on and off the field…and it is truly beginning to pay off. Coming off the excitement of our two Spring Break victories, the team unfortunately some adversity, and we our record is currently 5-3.
On Wednesday, March 15 against LIU Brooklyn, we finally broke our Wednesday blues! After a sluggish start, the girl really picked up the intensity! Just before the end of the first half, the offense went on a 12-goal run, with 5 of those goals coming in the last five minutes. The success of the offense would not be possible without the big stops on defense. Four of your Saints netted hat tricks, while 8 different Saints tallied points. The girls truly worked together to accomplish this amazing feat. Unfortunately, with 13:50 left in the second half, the game was delayed because of lightening. Finally, the game resumed but was later called due to weather again. The team escaped with a 19-13 victory.
The following Saturday the team traveled to the University of Vermont. Although the game did not turn out the way we all expected, some huge milestones were reached for the team. Lauren Smith scored her 100th point becoming the eleventh player in program history. Smith also joined Lindsey Rosecrans as the only players to have 100 points, 100 draw controls, and 100 groundballs. As a result of her impressive efforts, Smith was also named MAAC Offensive player of the week! CONGRATS LAUR!!
In addition, Lynnzee Miller contributed her sixth hat trick in just her first eight collegiate games ever. Her future is looking extremely bright in the future of our program. Keep up the hard work Lynnzee!!
The Saints wrapped up our non-conference season with a heartbreaking loss of 12-13 to two-time NEC Champions, Bryant University. The girls put a great fight and worked their way out of a three-goal deficit two different times. Samantha Horton had an amazing game making a season-high of 10 saves. Way to go Sammy!
The girls are looking forward to starting MAAC play this Saturday when they host Monmouth at home. Looking back at the past nine games, the team knows that the future is bright. Everything that we have worked for comes down to these final eight conference games. Nothing will be handed to us but the team is prepared to fight tooth and nail and to leave everything on the field in order to get to that first weekend in May.
GO SAINTS!!!!!!
