NORTHFIELD – Despite losing their final game of the regular season and the top seed in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Tournament, the Norwich women’s lacrosse team dominated Dean College in the GNAC quarterfinals last week for a program record fifteenth win of the season.
East Calais native and former U-32 standout Caitlyn Fielder scored twice last Tuesday in a pivotal regular season ending loss to Emmauel College at Sabine Field. The sensational sophomore closed out the regular season with a team-high and career-high 47 goals in 15 games. Norwich’s high scoring attacker wasn’t able to suit up in their quarterfinal matchup against Dean College on Saturday, but the offense didn’t miss a beat as they rolled to an 18-6 win. Senior Ellie Moriarty tallied a goal and three assists in the win. The former Stowe standout broke the program’s all-time assist record earlier this season and now has 92 for her career.
Norwich advances to the GNAC semifinals for the first time since 2014 and will travel to Providence, RI to face Johnson & Wales University on Wednesday. The winner advances to the GNAC championship game on Saturday.
