Two Goals by Maura Read '25 Give Field Hockey Another Win
The Archmere field hockey team traveled to the Chase Fieldhouse on Friday, October 7 to confront top ranked Padua, defeating the Pandas in an exciting back and forth match, 2-1. Both teams played a defense-first opening half, with few chances on goal for either the Auks or Pandas. After the half, though, the Auks turned up the pressure, even earning a few penalty corners. The first goal came from sophomore Maura Read, but Padua found their footing and evened the score at the 1:34 mark. In the fourth quarter, when the fans were entertaining an overtime situation, Maura Read scored again with just 7:21 left in the game to put Archmere back on top.
"A Padua turnover played a role in the first goal of the game. The Auks picked up a Pandas pass near midfield three minutes into the second half, and Maura Read sent a quick shot from close range past Kozink to give the visitors a 1-0 lead....For much of the fourth quarter, overtime seemed like a distinct possibility, but the Auks quashed that thought. Read struck again, redirecting a long pass from Dell’Oso into the net with 7:21 left in the game."
The Auks had a 19-14 shot advantage, and they earned eight penalty corners to the Pandas’ six. Junior goalie Ave Hughes made 11 saves. Archmere takes its 8-0 record into a game on October 10 vs. St. Elizabeth at Hockessin Montessori School at 3:45 p.m.
