Field hockey 1-3 during weekend
Senior Kristy Reed scored three goals for the field hockey team this weekend as it posted a 1-3 record in spring league competition.
Central beat Miami 2-1 before falling to Ohio State 5-3 Saturday.
Reed and sophomore Erica Takach accounted for the goals against the RedHawks. Reed, Takach and freshman Alicia Balanesi scored against OSU.
“Our offense played well this weekend and our defense improved with every game,” said coach Cristy Freese.
The Chippewas lost to Michigan State 5-3 and lost to Michigan 3-0. Reed, sophomore Alisa Folk and junior Amy Kauffman scored for Central against MSU.
“MSU and Michigan are both NCAA tournament teams,” Freese said. “MSU has a very good offense and Michigan is probably the strongest defensive team we will play.”
Freshman goalkeeper Danielle Frank saw a lot of action in the goal this weekend and played well against top competition, Freese said.
Freese was pleased with the team’s play, but said there is still much to improve.
“Our communication and spacing on defense is something we really need to work on,” she said.
