Nov. 10, 2001

HANOVER, N.H. - The Providence College field hockey team was defeated by Dartmouth, 2-0, in the semifinals of the Eastern College Athletic Conference Division I Field Hockey Tournament on Saturday, November 10 in Hanover, New Hampshire. The Friars entered the tournament as the fourth-seed, while Dartmouth earned the right to host the championship field as the top-seed.

Dartmouth scored both of its goals in the first half. Lisa Thomas netted the Big Greens' first goal, which proved to be the game winner, at the 11:30 mark on a penalty corner. Thomas was assisted by Lauren Welsh and Kristin Barlup. Welsh scored Dartmouth's second goal with 1:50 remaining in the half on an assist from Thomas.

Goalkeeper Meaghan Moran (Framingham, Mass.) registered three saves in goal for Providence. Kirsten Anderson also took in three saves for Dartmouth. The Big Green advance to the finals of the tournament, and will face the winner of the other semifinal match-up between #2 Georgetown and #3 Drexel.

Other than the BIG EAST Tournament, the Friars made their first appearance in post-season play since 1990, with the invitation to the 2001 ECAC Championship. Providence finishes its season with an 11-8 overall record. The teams' 11 wins is the most since 1997, when the Friars finished 11-10 under Head Coach Jackie Barto.
