Becker defeats Bay Path 4-0 in NECC Action

LEICESTER, Mass. --- Junior defender Amy Grenier (Westminster, Mass. / Oakmont Regional) scored a career-high four goals as the Becker College field hockey team defeated visiting Bay Path College, 4-0, in NECC play on Wednesday afternoon at Alumni Field in Leicester.

The Hawks of Becker (2-10 / 2-1 NECC) got off to a great start when Grenier scored in the sixth minute off a corner from freshman midfielder Amy Cooper (Monument, Colo. / Lewis Palmer) to put the Hawks ahead 1-0.

The Wildcats of Bay Path (0-7 / 0-3 NECC) had their best chance to score just before the break when they had back-to-back shots on goal in rapid succession. But the Hawks turned both shots away, and the 1-0 score would hold up for the remainder of the first period.

The hosts would score again ten minutes into the second half, as Grenier took off on a breakaway for her second goal of the game, then added two more in the 52^nd and 54^th minutes respectively. That would hold up for the final score.

Becker sophomore goalkeeper Elysabeth Jefferies (Lisbon Falls, Maine / Hebron Academy) finished with three saves in net. Bay Path junior goalkeeper Bethany Rogers (Plymouth, Mass. / Plymouth South High School) recorded 12 stops. Becker outshot Bay Path, 22-4.

The Hawks will be back on the field on Saturday when they travel to Elms College for a 2:00 p.m. NECC game. The Wildcats host Daniel Webster on Saturday at 11:00 a.m.
