WEST HARTFORD — Conard High School’s Varsity Field Hockey team celebrated Senior Night in dominant fashion on Wednesday evening, earning a decisive 5-0 victory over visiting Southington High School.
Before the action got underway, the Red Wolves held a special pre-match ceremony to honor their graduating seniors for their dedication and contributions to the program. Recognized on the field were Hazel Montanari, Kelsey Collard, Izzie Hathorn, Molly Carlin, Josie Goslee, Sam Kenyon, Lila McPherson , Evie Messinger, Nora Galli , Catherine Towey, Merritt Harton, Quincy Cyr, Maddie O'Connell, and goalkeeper Isa Ripepi.
Once play began, Conard immediately took control of the contest, maintaining consistent offensive pressure throughout the night. The Red Wolves generated 13 total shots on goal, with five beating the Southington keeper.
Conard’s attack was powered by pair of multi-goal performances:
Gigi Smith paced the offense with 2 goals.
Berkeley Hess added 2 goals and registered an assist.
Molly Carlin netted 1 goal to join the Senior Night scoring sheet.
Izzie Hathorn contributed to the playmaking with an assist.
Defensively, Conard proved equally relentless, stifling Southington's attack and limiting the visitors to just three shots on goal for the entirety of the match. Senior Isa Ripepi tallied one save in net before handing over goaltending duties to Caroline Guida, who turned away two shots to secure the combined shutout.
