Worcester, Mass. (September 30) -- On Friday night in Northeast-10 Conference action, the Assumption field hockey team dropped a 3-0 final to visiting Saint Anselm at the Multi-Sport Stadium. The victory gives the Hawks a sweep of the regular-season series.

Saint Anselm junior Kristina Katsikis tallied her team-best 10th goal of the season to give the Hawks the 1-0 lead at the 8:20 mark. The goal gives Katsikis a single-season school record 22 points thru just 10 games in 2011. Saint Anselm added a second goal at 22:51 as Sara Sterling took the pass from Katsikis for the 2-0 edge.

Nicole Foley gave the Hawks a 3-0 lead with 17:14 left in the second half as she put in a rebound just inside the right post for her first goal of the season.
