FIELD HOCKEY: Colby-Sawyer Cements Top Seed in GNAC Tourney
Colby-Sawyer, JWU, Saint Joseph's of Maine, and Simmons have earned the right to host the GNAC Quarterfinal round this Saturday.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WINTHROP, Mass. – For the first time since joining the GNAC as a full core member in 2018, the Colby-Sawyer field hockey program has claimed the GNAC regular-season title and top seed in the GNAC Tournament, which gets underway on Saturday, October 30.
The Chargers' (10-1) only loss in GNAC play came at the hands of four-time defending conference champion Saint Joseph's College of Maine, but the Monks went on to drop GNAC matchups on Oct. 20 and Oct. 23 against Simmons and JWU, respectively.
As a result, SJC dropped to the No. 3 seed and will take on sixth-seeded Lasell University in the GNAC Quarterfinals. The winner will face the victor of second-seeded JWU and seventh-seeded Rivier University in the semifinals.
For the top-seeded Chargers, CSC will welcome eighth-seeded Anna Maria College, with that winner set to take on the winner of #4 Simmons University and #5 Elms College.
