Field Hockey Shuts Out AIC 2-0 for Sixth Consecutive Win

WORCESTER, Mass. – The No. 7 Assumption University field hockey team secured a decisive 2-0 victory over American International College in Northeast-10 Conference action on Tuesday evening at Brian Kelly '83 Stadium.

THE BASICS
Score: Assumption University 2, American International College 0
Records: Greyhounds (8-3, 6-0 NE10) | Yellow Jackets (5-5, 3-3 NE10)

HOW IT HAPPENED
As teams arrived, it was a moment for Assumption head coach Annie Lahey to reconnect with one of her former All-American players, Kylie Gargiulo, who returned to Brian Kelly '83 Stadium for the first time in a head coaching role. Gargiulo led the Hounds from between the iron to the program's first NE10 Championship in 2021. 

After exchanging pleasantries, the game began. Ten minutes in, Mia Salah opened the scoring for the Greyhounds, assisted by Julia Carbone. Elle Murray extended the lead with her goal at 22:32 in the second quarter, set up by Salah. The Assumption defense held strong, allowing just five shots on goal. The Yellow Jackets could not beat the sharp Paige Gillette, minding the net, who maintained the shutout throughout the game.
