Field Hockey
With field hockey’s season-opening, 3-2 victory over
Vermont in an extra frame, 2002 seemed to be a continuation
of the success enjoyed last year. However, a scoring drought
left the Holy Cross team winless in the next four contests,
including a 3-0 loss to then 11th-ranked Northeastern, when Jennifer
Corsilli ’04 (Fairfield, N.J.) made a season-high
13 saves in net. The next loss was tougher as the team fell,
1-0, to host Yale, the following week. The Cross recovered
when it mattered and inched one step closer to earning its
third-consecutive regular season Patriot League title by
producing a 2-0 victory over Bucknell. In that game, the
team struck twice in the second half as Heather Yanusas ’04 (Southbury,
Conn.) scored the game-winning goal, and Liz Tutella ’03 (Blandon,
Penn.) sealed the victory with 40 seconds left in the contest.
Through the first six games, Tutella has garnered a team-leading
three goals, while both of Yanusas’ goals have been
game-winners. Jenna Cook ’06 (Walpole, Mass.)
and Jillian LeClair ’04 (Gardiner, Maine) have
each chipped in with one and two assists, respectively.
Caitlin Moynihan ’05 (Rye, N.Y.) has paced the
Cross defensively with 29 interceptions and 14 tackles. She
is followed by Meg Barry ’03 (West Boylston,
Mass.) with 24 interceptions, and Heather Yanusas, who has
totaled nine tackles in fine all-around play. Jennifer Corsilli’s
16th shutout in goal for Holy Cross moved her to within one
of the career record, held by Julie Elmore ’96.
