Field Hockey
In field hockey, Amherst Lady Jeffs defeated the Smith Pioneers Sept. 13 by 5-1. This brings the Pioneers to a current record of 2-1.
Smith was on the board early as Linnea Michaels '07 scored on an assist by Emily Leonard '06.
The Smith Pioneers finished in third place in the annual Seven Sisters Championship Sept. 17 and 18. Smith opened play on the 17th with a 2-0 defeat of Elms College but then lost 3-0 to host Wellesley in their second game.
Smith's first game of the day marked the second time in 8 days which they squared off against Elms College, their previous meeting ending in overtime in Smith's favor 1-0. Since then, the Pioneers have lost a contest to the Jeffs of Amherst and will be without one of their top scoring threats, sophomore midfielder Emily Heller '08, injured in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Jeffs. Yet, Smith Field hockey remained composed and with the help of their top two leading scorer's, seniors Emily Downs '06 and Becky Spalding '06, handed the Elms Blazers the loss in Saturday's first round game in the tournament at Wellesley College, 2-0.
In their second round game Smith lost 3-0 to host Wellesley College (after Wellesley went on to hand the Owls of Bryn Mawr a 5-1 defeat in round one). On Sunday, the Pioneers beat Vassar College for the third place finish.
