Ellsworth Anchors Scots' 3-1 Win Over Pilgrims

In a non-conference road contest against New England College tonight, Gordon College Field Hockey saw a two-goal performance from senior Emma Ellsworth that lifted the Scots to a 3-1 victory. 

How It Happened
  • After 60+ seconds of straight offensive pressure, the Scots sent one through as Ellsworth gave the Scots the lead with just over a minute remaining in the first quarter.
  • The Scots nearly extended the lead in the second quarter but the NEC defense held their own to keep their deficit to one goal heading into the half.
  • In the 36th minute, Ellsworth got her own rebound after she fired a shot that was saved by NEC keeper Ellie Philben (Fr./Havre De Grace, Md.), and laced her next shot past Philben to extend her team's lead to two.
  • Natalie Adamez added to the Scots' lead nearly six minutes later from a Cara Goudie feed, holding a 3-0 lead heading into the final frame.
  • Just over a minute into the fourth quarter, NEC's Brittany Tierney (Gr./Ottawa, Canada) found the back of the net to cut the lead to two but that was as close as the Pilgrims could get as Gordon won 3-1.
Beyond The Box Score
  • Head Coach Cory Ward earned his 200th career win with the victory tonight!
  • Emma Ellsworth's two-goal performance is a career game-high for the senior.
  • The Scots return to conference action as they host Roger Williams on Saturday, October 12 for a 12 p.m. start.
