Senior Amelia Crocombe (Taunton, England) scored the game-winning goal, while sophomore Agustina Miranda Waigand (Miami, Fla.) recorded her second shutout of the season, as the Southern New Hampshire University field hockey team earned a 3-0 non-conference victory over Saint Michael's College on Wednesday evening at Duffy Field.

KEY MOMENT

After a scoreless first half, Crocombe broke the deadlock at 36:38, putting home a rebound after senior Zoe Demers (Manchester, N.H.) had her shot stopped by Saint Michael's goalkeeper Ronia Foecking. The goal was Crocombe's second of the season.

Demers doubled the lead just 3:21 later, scoring off an assist from junior Natalie Paradzick (Hooksett, N.H.) at 39:59. Freshman Amelie Garssen (Aerdenhout, Netherlands) capped the scoring with her first career goal at 50:06, knocking home the rebound after Demers hit the post. Sophomore Sophie Bilodeau (Milford, N.H.) picked up the assist.
