Saint Anselm soccer and field hockey continue to excel

It’s September 20, 2019. Here’s what’s been going on lately in Saint Anselm sports.

Men’s Soccer

Outside of women’s tennis, the only other Saint Anselm team in action on Tuesday night was the men’s soccer team, which won 3-1 over Saint Michael’s.

Sophomore Taylor Silverstein (Concord, N.H.) scored goals in the 20^th and 65^th minutes, with an additional goal coming off a Saint Michael’s defender in the 63^rd minute for the third score.

With four straight wins, the Hawks have tied the 1999 team as the only group to have not earned a draw in their unbeaten starts in program history.

After the game, the team found themselves in 10^th in the United Soccer Coaches East Region Coaches’ Poll, the first time they’ve reached that level since Sept. 15, 2015.

Women’s Soccer

The Hawks remained undefeated for 2019 after defeating Post, 4-1. In addition to a 61^st minute own goal surrendered by Post, Saint Anselm took a goal from sophomore Regan Pratt (Newburyport, Mass.) just 19 seconds into the contest, followed by goals from senior Roshelle Morrison (Limerick, Maine) and Bailey Conti (Walpole, Mass.)

Saint Anselm improved to 3-0-2 and will host the Panthers of Adelphi University on Saturday, Sept. 21 for a 1 p.m. matchup.
