    BEVERLY, Mass. — The No. 8 nationally ranked Endicott field hockey team shut out Keene State, 9-0, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Wednesday night at North Field.

    The Gulls grabbed a 1-0 lead towards the end of the first quarter after Reagan Hicks (Barnstable, Mass.) corralled a slick feed from Tori Swanson (Farmington, Conn.) and potted her shot into the bottom right corner of the goal at 13:33.

    Swanson made it 2-0 at the 20:27 mark when she found a loose ball in front of the net and shoved it past the goalkeeper. 

    The Blue and Green continued to light up the scoreboard the rest of the way as Riley Perkins (Lakeville, Mass.), Hicks (2), Maddy Dengler (Winchester, Mass.), Sabrina Brunet (South Burlington, Vt.) (2), and Natalia Correia (Tyngsboro, Mass.) rounded out the goal scorers for the Gulls.

    Swanson, Perkins, Hicks, Dengler, and Natalia Arjona (Ashland, Mass.) also added helpers in the victory.

    In goal, Faith Minickene (Madison, Conn.) made three saves to improve her record to 20-1 on the season.
