Field Hockey Defeats Smith, 3-0, in NEWMAC Semifinals

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Top-seeded MIT generated three second-half goals en route to a 3-0 victory over No. 4 seed Smith College in the semifinals of the NEWMAC Field Hockey Championship on Thursday night at Jack Barry Field. Remy Caspar, Meredith Wu, and Grace Chrapowitzky found the back of the cage for the Engineers.
 
THE BASICS:
  • Score: MIT 3, Smith 0
  • Records: MIT (13-6 Overall); Smith (9-11 Overall)
HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • In a scoreless first half, MIT had advantages in shots (7-4) and penalty corners (8-1), but Smith had a 2-1 edge in shots on goal.
  • Caspar ended the stalemate when she converted a penalty stroke after 2:52 elapsed in the third quarter, marking her first intercollegiate goal. The Engineers controlled the action for the remainder of the frame as they generated five shots (two on goal) and four penalty corners, but they could not extend their lead.
  • Wu created some breathing room for MIT just 3:15 into the fourth quarter when she collected the ball at the top of the circle, dodged multiple defenders and placed a shot inside the near post.
  • The Engineers capped the scoring with 4:44 left to play. During a penalty corner, Ingrid Tomovski received the ball in the middle of the circle in front of the cage. She managed to pass it to the near post where Chrapowitzky tapped it in. With her assist, Tomovski became the ninth player in program history to record 100 career points.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
  • Alexis Ninios made two saves for the hosts while Iseul Park turned away six shots for the Bears.
  • MIT ended the night with advantages in shots (20-4), shots on goal (9-2), and penalty corners (15-1).
  • This is the ninth time in 10 seasons the Engineers advanced to the NEWMAC title game.
UP NEXT:
  • MIT will host No. 2 seed and nationally ranked No. 17 Babson College in the NEWMAC Championship on Saturday, November 7 at 12:00 PM.
  • This is the eighth time in 10 seasons both squads will battle for the conference title. The Engineers won in 2017 and 2019 while the Beavers were victorious in 2016, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2025.
