PROVIDENCE, R.I. – East Calais native and former U-32 star Caitlyn Fielder and her Norwich University women’s lacrosse team’s storybook season came to an end in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Final Four last week.
Johnson & Wales University (JWU) stymied the high-flying Lady Cadet offense to advance to the GNAC title game with an 11-4 home win last Wednesday. After missing their quarterfinal win over Dean College, Fielder returned to the lineup but was held scoreless for the first time in over two months. The super sophomore led Norwich with 47 goals on the season, leading them to a program record 15 wins.
Fielder has now scored 85 career goals for Norwich in just 33 games, tacking on 28 assists.
Former Stowe senior Ellie Moriarty recorded an assist in her final game and will graduate as the program’s all-time assist leader with 96.
JWU’s bid for a third consecutive GNAC championship came up short over the weekend as they fell to Emmanuel College 15-12. The Saints advance to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 11 years and will square off against Endicott College on Saturday in the first round at tournament host, Colby-Sawyer.
