BOSTON, MASS - The William and Mary field hockey team went up to Boston Sunday to face Northeastern in the CAA opener, but couldn't come away with the win in a 6-0 loss. The Tribe stands at 2-7 on the year, 0-1 in conference play, while the Huskies improve to 5-5 overall and 1-1 in the CAA.

Box Score

Tribe goalkeeper Camilla Hill (Williamsburg, Va.) made eight saves in the match, but Northeastern's high-powered offense wore away at the W&M defense with 20 shots and five penalty corner opportunities. The College was able to get an attack of its own going in the second half, generating five shots in the final 35 minutes. Two off the stick of senior Danielle Scissom (Virginia Beach, Va.), with one sliding just wide of the goal and the other being knocked down by a defender. Classmate Jenna Cinalli (Fredericksburg, Va.) had one great look at the goal that was saved by the keeper, as was a shot from freshman Taylor Gladey (Mountaintop, Pa.) in the 49th minute.

William and Mary returns home for a pair of matches next week, as part of the festivities for the College's Family Weekend. The Tribe hosts Towson on Friday at 7 p.m., before taking on Delaware Sunday at 1 p.m.
