ROCKLAND — The Oceanside varsity field hockey team bested Erskine Academy at home on Thursday, Sept. 6 to improve its record to 1-1 on the season. 

With the 2-0 victory, Oceanside now prepares to host Gardiner on Tuesday, Sept. 11 at 4 p.m.

Both goals were scored by Erin Stevenson with the first goal being assisted by Emma Young and the second by Amanda Frost to Julia Bartlett. 

“Erin is a freshman and has been playing left mid,” said Oceanside head coach Joanna Hall. “She has been emerging as a go-getter and gaining confidence so I moved her up to the left wing position with 10 minutes left in the first half and told her she was going to get a goal. I was wrong, she got 2 goals!

Oceanside recorded six corners compared to Erskine’s four. Oceanside had five shots on goal compared to Erskine’s three. 

Alexa Barstow had three saves in the net for Oceanside, while Erskine’s Lucy Allen also recorded three saves.
