CHICOPEE, MA - Elms College freshman goalkeeper
Alexandra Bonavita (Agawam, MA) made 19 saves, but
Anna Maria College sophomore Katie Schebel (Ludlow,
MA) scored the Amcats’ lone goal in the opening half
to propel Anna Maria to a 1-0 victory over the Blazers in
Thursday’s evening’s non-conference field hockey game
at Leary Field.
With the loss, Elms falls to 3-9 on the season, while Anna Maria

of the net just 12 minutes into the contest.
From there, Bonavita withstood a flurry of shots as Anna Maria
outshot Elms 25-3. Schebel and junior forward Emily Nugent
(Worcester, MA) registered seven shots apiece; while
senior forward Angela Giuffrida (Leicester, MA)
attempted five shots.
Elms senior forward Tomie Lafond (Hatfield, MA)
led the squad with two shots.
Elms returns to action Saturday, Oct. 17 when they host Becker
College in a New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) battle. Game
time is slated for 11:00 a.m. at Leary Field.
