Live Field Hockey Blog: Washington-Haverford
Tomorrow I will be blogging from the Washington-Haverford field hockey contest up on the Main Line beginning at 3:45 pm for the 4 pm tilt. This game has major implications on who will make the Centennial Conference Field Hockey Tournament. The Shorewomen are currently 9-4 overall and 4-3 in the Centennial, while the host Fords are 7-7 and 3-3 respectively. Currently, 1 1/2 games separates 3rd place from 8th place as you have Gettysburg, McDaniel and Dickinson at 4-2, Washington at 4-3, Haverford at 3-3 and Muhlenberg at 3-4. The Shorewomen currently own the tiebreakers on McDaniel and Muhlenberg, while the Fords own the tiebreak over Muhlenberg.
Washington is led by sophomore Danielle Rosato who has eight goals and three assists for 19 points. Seniors Amy Spadanuta and Jaimie Barlow each have tallied five goals. Senior Candace Gaull and junior Kristin Birscak have each netted four goals. Sophomore Sara Rutkowski leads all players with six assists. In goal, Elena Nicholoff leads the conference in save percentage (.866), second in shutouts, shutouts per game and goals against average and is tied for second in saver per game. The Shorewomen have outscored their foes by a 28-16 margin. Haverford is led by Josie Ferri who has 11 goals and six assists for 28 points, while Margaret Selsor has 11 goals and two helpers for 24 points. Ferri and Selsor are tied for the team lead in goals and have scored 22 of the 35 Ford goals in 2008. Alex Waleko has added seven goals, while Roxanne Jaffe has a team-best eight assists. The Fords have been outscored 42-35 this season. Haverford's backstop, Maggie Cronin is third in the conference in shutouts per game and fourth in saves per game.
Washington and Haverford began the rivalry in 1987 and has been played annually since with the Shorewomen holding a 12-7-2 all-time series lead. Washington won the inaguaral meeting 21 years ago by a 2-1 score. The Shorewomen won 10 in a row from 1996-2005, but the Fords have grabbed the last two victories. Haverford won 3-2 in 2006 and a 7-5 shootout last year that was the highest combined goal total in the 21 meetings. It was the sixth time that the Shorewomen had netted five goals against the Fords.
