Causarano's Hat Trick Leads No. 7 Field Hockey to Ranked Road Win
This was the most "explosive" our team has looked on offense since I started watching a few years ago. We were quickly breaking out from our own end with crisp passes and deft stickwork, and then getting downhill on the wing (mostly by Iris Langejans) before then crossing the ball into the circle for really good shots.
This entire start, with the road schedule (8 of 9 thus far), SHOULD do wonders for this team come post-season NOT ONLY for this year but for the next few!
I saw the stats, but it didn’t “feel” like UMass had that many shots.
We completely dominated the first half, running circles around the Minutewomen. Second half just felt more even, but UMass played “desperate,” which probably accounts for more shots on their part. But we countered often, creating chances but not alot of shots.
I didn’t watch closely enough, but I wonder if Coach Civico changed things up to protect the lead, maybe by holding back a player or two from the attack. I don’t know, just speculating.
