Yesterday you have seven-time defending NCAA Division III Field-Hockey Champions from Middlebury College their first loss of the season, a 2-1 overtime loss against Endicott College.
Endicott, a small school in Beverly, Massachusetts, is mentioned as number 23 in the survey of the coaches. Expect that number to climb considerably.
The Endicott Field Hockey program has had a modest show during the 33 years that the seagulls have played Intercollegial Hockey. The program has two major trophies in its history: the ECAC championships 2006 and 2008.
However, since 2011 they have made the NCAA tournament six times, but they are not from the second round.
The seagulls, under head coach Jodi Cipolla, have collected a good selection with players of strong scholastic programs such as Mamaroneck (NY), Walpole (Mass.) And Haddonfield (NJ) Memorial. Moreover, there are many good players from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; 20 of the 33 players in the schedule of the seagulls come from the Bay State.
The two high scorers this season come from programs that you may never have heard of. Senior attacking midfielder Reagan Hicks is from Barnstable (Mass.), And the second leading scorer Tori Swanson is from West Hartford Kingswood-Oxford (Conn.). Nevertheless, Cipolla and her coaching staff work. Keep an eye on this team in November.
