Tufts Field Hockey Advances to NESCAC Semi-finals with 3-0 Win Over Williams

Box Score
Brianna Keenan made four saves in the shutout

MEDFORD - Three different Jumbos scored as the Tufts University field hockey team came away with a 3-0 victory against Williams College in the NESCAC Field Hockey Championship quarterfinals Saturday afternoon at Bello Field. This is the ninth win in a row for the Jumbos. 

With the win, Tufts (13-1) advances to the semi-final round of the conference tournament to be played next weekend (Nov. 9-10) at Amherst College. They will face Bowdoin College.

The Jumbos got their first goal when Sophomore Dakota Sikes-Keilp (Montclair, NJ) fed Sophomore Allison Rolfe (East Dennis, MA) in front of the net past the diving Eph goalkeeper.

The two teams went into the half with Tufts leading 1-0 and having a 15-5 advantage in corners.

The Jumbos came out of the half by scoring back-to-back goals, both off of corners in a span of three minutes. At the 36:47 mark, Emily Cannon (Atkinson, NH) received the corner insert from Alexandra Jamison (Gaithersburg, MD) and blasted a shot into the net for a 2-0 advantage. 

Just minutes later, Jamison scored one of her own on a pass from senior Chelsea Yogerst (San Diego, CA) for the 3-0 final score. 

Ariana Spiliotes finished with six saves for Williams, while Keenan recorded four saves in the shutout. Tufts had the advantage in shots (16-7) and in corners (22-6).
