THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, September 27, 2019 Page 11 Everett field hockey battles to 0-0 tie By Greg Phipps E verett High School field hockey head coach Melissa O’Donnell said her team has been battling hard despite not having earned its fi rst victory of 2019, at least as of early this week. The Crimson Tide made the lengthy trip to face the Rockport Vikings on Monday and came away with a scoreless tie. “We have a lot of seniors and a couple of juniors this year. We’re hanging in there and we’ve been competitive,” O'Donnell observed prior to Monday’s contest. “We’re getting a lot of unfortunate bounces that haven’t gone our way. We’ve got a pretty good team, and I think if we start getting more favorable bounces we’ll get some wins.” Monday’s 0-0 deadlock against the Vikings left Everett at 0-41 through its fi rst fi ve contests. The defense on both sides was strong. Rockport seemed to have the better scoring opportunities in the fi rst half, as goalie Elizabeth Peach was called upon to make some key saves. Peach also received solid defensive help from Anne Naceus, Ernestine Brice and Ashley Yebba. The Tide will try to get in the win column when they host Lowell on Friday and travel to take on Lawrence on Monday.
