This one was just too close for comfort.
With heavy contributors on both sides, the Bishop Fenwick and Marblehead field hockey teams fought to a 5-5 tie at Piper Field in Marblehead.
Fenwick goal-scorers were Alex Kohalmi, Sophia Cooke (2), and Bella McCormack (2, including a stroke). Shea Mason delivered an assist and Sarah Bannister made 10 saves.
“Bailey Chalmers played well on defense and Neive Bachman had a good game in the midfield,” said Fenwick coach Marybeth Mahoney.
On the Marblehead side of things, Sadie Beane scored a pair of goals, while Emma Ryan netted her first at the varsity level. Carolyn Black and Chloe Rowland also scored.
“Our offense did a great job of putting pressure on Bishop Fenwick,” said Marblehead coach Ali Carey. “In practice, we’ve been working on taking advantage of scoring opportunities and trusting our offense to set up for rebounds – and today, that really paid off for us.”
