Field hockey wins two
The field hockey team rebounded this week, scooping up two wins to break even and gather steam as the Centennial Conference season looms large.
Swarthmore (4-3, 1-0 CC) crushed Immaculata (2-3) on Saturday, winning by a score of 6-0. Katie Teleky ’13 scored two goals in the victory, while Sophia Agathis ’13, Sophia Ferguson ’11, Sara McCabe ’11 and Joslyn Young ’10 each added one.
Splitting time in goal, Katie Ashmore ’11 and Gina Grubb ’10 had a quiet afternoon. Ashmore wasn’t called on to make a single save in the first period, while Grubb answered the Mighty Mac’s only shot on goal with ease in the second period.
Yesterday, the Garnet held an early lead to defeat Neumann at home by a score of 3-2. Teleky added yet another goal, as did Ferguson and McCabe.
Ashmore made five saves in the victory.
The field hockey team will face a worthy opponent in #7 Johns Hopkins (8-2) at home on Saturday at 12 p.m.

Volleyball splits at Neumann
The Garnet volleyball team (8-4) split a pair of contests at Neumann on Saturday. Swarthmore shook off a shaky start against the host Knights (2-11) to win by a score of 3-1 (16-25, 26-24, 25-12, 25-20) but fell to 320 rival Widener by the same score (22-25, 23-25, 25-21, 20-25).
The women will look to open Centennial Conference play tonight at Bryn Mawr (4-6, 0-1 CC) at 7 p.m.
