WORCESTER, Mass. – The No. 8 nationally ranked Assumption University field hockey team cruised to a 7-0 win over Southern New Hampshire University in the First Round of the 2026 Northeast 10 Conference First Round, Tuesday evening at Brian Kelly '83 Stadium. 

THE BASICS

HOW IT HAPPENED
Assumption controlled the action from the opening whistle, generating several early scoring opportunities before Nova Rijks broke through at 7:20 of the first quarter off an assist from Daisy Stone. The Greyhounds doubled their advantage at 13:16, as Mieke Rentsch found the back of the cage off assists from Caroline Mastergeorge and Stone, giving Assumption a 2-0 lead after 15 minutes.
