NASHUA, N.H. — The Saint Joseph’s College (2-0, 1-0 GNAC) field hockey program registered its first Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) win in the team’s first contest in the new league with a convincing 6-0 triumph over Rivier University (0-4, 0-1 GNAC) on Saturday afternoon.
Freshman Bailey Cutler of Lisbon Falls scored a pair of goals in the historic victory.
Cutler netted her first collegiate goal, with Theresa Hendrix and Dumond earning assists, 10 minutes into the second stanza.
Saint Joseph’s, which played in the North Atlantic Conference (NAC) for the last six seasons, joined the GNAC this fall in conjunction with conference sponsorship of the sport. St. Joe’s is one of seven GNAC institutions, along with Anna Maria College, Johnson & Wales University, Lasell College, Mount Ida College, Rivier and Simmons College, to field a team this season and was projected, by vote of head coaches, as the preseason favorite.
