THE LEAD
The New Haven field hockey team will put its three-game win streak on the line on Monday afternoon when they host a top-three team in the nation in East Stroudsburg at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. The match-up is scheduled for a 4:00 p.m. start.
SERIES HISTORY VS EAST STROUDSBURG
New Haven and East Stroudsburg will meet for the first time in the history of the two programs, however New Haven is very familiar with teams from the PSAC, already facing a pair this season in Bloomsburg and West Chester.
SCOUTING THE CHARGERS (3-4, 3-0 NE10)
The only 3-0 team in the NE10, the New Haven field hockey team proved that playing a tough non-conference schedule to open up the season pays off when they opened up Northeast-10 Conference play with wins over Saint Michael's, Pace and Franklin Pierce. In each of the last two games, the Chargers put up season-best numbers in goals with four against the Setters and Ravens. Graduate student Sophie Schreck (Madison, Conn./Daniel Hand) led the Chargers attack throughout the week with two goals and two assists. She wasn't the only one with a pair of goals as sophomore Abby Nixon (Wrentham, Mass./King Phillip Regional) added two goals, one each against Pace and Franklin Pierce. For the season, Schreck leads the team with four goals and a pair of assists for 10 points. Senior Zharria John (Piscataway, N.J./Piscataway) follows Schreck with three goals and two assists for eight points, while Nixon has a pair of assists in addition to her two goals scored this past week. In the cage, Integlia has played every minute, collecting 47 saves to her credit and posting a pair of shutouts.
SCOUTING THE WARRIORS (7-1, 1-1 PSAC)
East Stroudsburg opened last week as the No. 2 team in the nation with a 6-0 record and finished a pair of games last week with a 1-1 record, defeating Molloy 7-0 before falling to No. 3 Shippensburg 1-0 in a PSAC match-up. For the season, East Stroudsburg has been a force to be reckoned with, scoring 31 goals offensively but proving to be an incredibly stingy defense allowing just two goals to their opponents, while posting six shutouts. Leading the team offensively is Nicole Krozser who has 14 points on the year with six goals and a pair of assists. Two players follow her with four goals apiece, Madison Kline and Hanna Lewis. In the cage, the Warriors have utilized three different keepers with Amy Supey seeing the bulk of the action with a team-high 11 saves in eight games played. Emma Valinote has added four saves and Karlie McClosky adds one.
THE SCHEDULE
