The Bantams started off the 2010 NESCAC playoffs with a decisive 16-6 win over the Bates Bobcats on Sunday. After a low scoring outing on Friday, the Bantams were looking to rebound with a strong attack in the Quarterfinal game played on the Robin L. Sheppard field in Hartford. Although the teams traded goals early, with Bates scoring first, the Bantams used a three goal run, capped by Caite’s third goal of the game, to take a 5-2 lead. Bates battled back to make it 5-4, but after a Bantam timeout, the attack came out firing, scoring four consecutive goals to head into halftime with a 9-4 lead. The run was sparked by senior leadership, with Remer, Jenn, and Kristin connecting for the first three goals. Remer started the scoring by breaking into the 8 and receiving a feed from Kristin. Jenn followed up with another when Remer found her wide open in front of the net after a nice cut from behind. The seniors continued the run, with Jenn this time finding Kristin open. It was great to see three senior attackers connect for three consecutive assisted goals to take a dominant lead into halftime. Caite once again finished the run, with Bruno finding her for a drive from the top, for the fourth straight assisted goal.
The seniors continued their impressive play in the second half, with Remer and Jenn scoring two apiece. Remer finished the game with 4 goals and 1 assist, while Jenn tallied 3 goals and an assist to push her over the 100 point mark for her career –congratulations Jenn!! Alisen chipped in two, one on a free position, while Hadley added another on a free position. Caite finished with a team leading 5 goals and one assist. It was a great offensive output for the Bantams, using a balanced attack that included 5 assisted goals, as well as two free position tallies.
Caite was impressive in the midfield as well, picking up 3 draw controls and 3 ground balls to go with 1 caused turnover, while Jenn picked up 4 draw controls of her own. Alisen was also huge on the draw, adding three draw controls to go with 2 ground balls and 1 caused turnovers. Annie and Liz led the defense with 3 caused turnovers apiece, as well as 3 and 2 ground balls apiece, respectively. Emma contributed a ground ball and a draw control in the effort, while Liza added 2 ground balls and 1 caused turnover. Gina came up with three saves in the win. It was a total team effort that the Bantams will look to reproduce on Saturday against the Williams College Ephs.
