Snelsire and Fleming assist Field Hockey in road victory over Griffins

GWENEDD VALLEY, Pa. - The Hood College field hockey team traveled to take on the Griffins of Gwenedd Mercy University, coming away with a well-deserved 4-1 victory.   
  
Inside the Box Score   
Kymara Beijer (Zandvoort, Nl./Kennemer Lyceum) scored her first official goal as a Blazer. 
  
Bianca Scally (Thousand Oaks, Calif./Thousand Oaks), Madeline Moreno (Mansfield, N.J./Warren Hills Regional), and Becca Medina (Spotsylvania, Va./Fredericksburg Christian) each netted a goal in the contest. 
  
Ava Snelsire (Ocean City, Md./Stephen Decatur) tied the program's single-game record for assists with three assists on the day.  
  
Sydney Fleming (Fredericksburg, Va./Courtland) with one assist in the match tied the program's all-time assist record with 12 total assists in her career.   
  
How It Happened   
Hood's Harper Buettner (Haymarket, Va./Gainesville) received her first career start, opening the first quarter of the game in goal.  
 
As both teams took the field and began play, the Blazer's defense did not allow a shot from the Griffins and created bountiful scoring opportunities for Hood. With three minutes left in the opening quarter Beijer found the back of the net for her first collegiate goal after receiving a pass from Snelsire, and shooting a back hand shot past the Griffins' keeper. Following Beijer's goal the Blazers led 1-0 heading into the second quarter,  
 
Riding off the previous quarter's momentum, the Blazers scored once more as Scally finished off another pass from Snelsire just two minutes into the quarter. Then with four minutes remaining in the half Moreno netted the Blazer's third goal of the game putting Hood up 3-0. 
 
In the second half the Blazers defense stood tall as the Griffins still were still unable to get a shot off as the third quarter concluded. 
 
Then in the final quarter of play Gwenedd Mercy finally was able to get two shots off with one leading to a late game goal; however, it would be Medina to ice the game for Hood after she was fed a dish from Snelsire and put the Blazers up 4-1 at the end of regulation.  
 
For The Opponent   
Morgan Hoban scored the lone goal for Gwenedd Mercy off an assist by Gianna Radcliffe. 
 
Kelly Weaver made ten saves for the Griffins. 
 
  
Analysis   
The Blazers had 19 total shots with 14 shots on goal, and the Griffins had 2 shots with just one shot on goal.   
  
The Blazers held a 14-3 edge over the Griffins in corners.   
  
Up Next   
The Hood College field hockey team is set to take on Wilson College Tuesday, September 29, at 6 p.m. at home for the final nonconference game of the 2026 season.
