TOPSHAM - Despite the high temperatures on Thursday, September 2, the Mt. Ararat Varsity Field Hockey Team were just as hot in their season opener at home against the Morse High School Shipbuilders.
The Eagles dominated for most of the game and their offense proved to be difficult to defend against as they came out to an early lead when Junior Leah Hitchcock made an unassisted goal two thirds of the way through the first half. The game started slipping away from the visitors late in the first half when Sophomore Charlotte Crosby netted a Caitlyn LaFountain (Freshman) rebound and then with less than 30 seconds left Crosby scored again sending a ball by Morse Goalie, Alice Stenquist to make the score 3-0. This proved to be all that would be needed for the win. Go to MTA Field Hockey page
Stenquist made 13 saves in the game and did an excellent job in the second half stopping the lady Eagles from scoring. Eagles goalkeeper Raven Demasi made three saves, including two from Morse's Aysia McCloud. Mt. Ararat out shot Morse 21-3 in the game. Other Eagles standouts included Lizzie O'Neal, Amber Bowley, Ashley Charron in the midfield. On the defensive end Heather Bolduc, Jody Curley, Sarah Sandlin, and Autumn Skelton did an excellent job keeping Morse from scoring.
Last season Mt. Ararat's home game against Morse ended up in tie when the visitor's scored with 10 seconds remaining. After the game Charlotte Crosby said, "We definately did not want to lose or tie this year and we gave it our all. I am so happy to be on this team again this year and the girls are amazing. We work really well together as a team and I can't wait to face Brunswick next Tuesday."
