Westwood resident Kathleen Reissfelder, one of field hockey’s top five scorers from the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC), combined forces with two Endicott teammates (also top five scorers), and helped to give second-seeded Endicott the championship win over first-seeded Roger Williams, 2-1, on Saturday, November 4, 2023, at Bayside Field in Bristol, Rhode Island.
At Saturday’s CCC championship game, Endicott’s Tori Swanson (Farmington, CT) gave the Gulls the first mark on the scoreboard. Maddy Dengler (Winchester, MA) doubled the lead off a feed from Westwood’s Ms. Reissfelder.
