NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA – On Homecoming Day, the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth’s Field Hockey built their first two-match winning streak of the season.

The Corsairs blanked Bridgewater State, 5-0, in a Little East Conference match at the UMass Dartmouth Athletic Complex.

UMD took the lead by scoring twice late in the first half. Senior midfielder Robin Dziedzic (Palmer, MA/Palmer HS) converted a pass from freshman midfielder Constance Jones (Springfield, MA/Somers HS) and scored with 4:35 left in the half. Two minutes later, Jones scored her first of two goals with 2:28 remaining to make it 2-0 at halftime.

Sophomore forward Lindsay Berube (Somerset, MA/Somerset HS) made it 3-0 on a goal a minuted and a half into the second half. Sophomore forward Caitlin DiCecca’s (Chelmsford, MA/Chelmsford HS) goal a minute and a half later made it 4-0, and Jones scored again, assisted by junior midfielder Larissa Correia (Fairhaven., MA/Fairhaven HS), in the final minute of play.

Junior goalkeepers Elizabeth Fitzgerald (Danvers, MA/Danvers HS) and Jessica Tavares (Dartmouth, MA/Dartmouth HS) combined for the shutout, with Fitzgerald making six saves and Tavares two. Amanda Dietzel and Nicole Downs combined to make nine saves for BSC.
