VILLANOVA, Pa. - The Providence College field hockey team defeated Villanova, 7-0, on Saturday, Nov. 1 in Villanova, Pa. and punched its ticket to the BIG EAST Field Hockey Championship set for Nov. 7-9 in Providence, R.I. The Friars led 1-0 at halftime and went on to score six unanswered goals in the second half for the decisive victory.

Junior midfielder Emma Mackie (Delta, British Columbia) got Providence on the scoreboard just 2:50 into the match as she tipped in a feed from senior Steph Guglielmo (Castle Rock, Colo.) during a penalty corner. Providence out-shot Villanova, 10-6, in the first half and held a 7-3 edge in penalty corners. The Friars carried their one-goal lead into the break.

In the second half, the Friars reeled off six unanswered goals to take the 7-0 victory. Freshman Megan Hamilton (Warrington, Pa.) got the wheels turning for Providence in the 44th minute, as she received a pass from senior Daniella Bernasconi (Hopewell Junction, N.Y.) at the doorstep of the cage.

Sophomore Adrienne Houle (Burlington, Ontario) and Hamilton added back-to-back goals in the 48th minute, just 20 seconds apart. Houle cashed in on a reverse stick, which was set up by graduate student Caitlin Malone (Ossining, N.Y.) at 48:17. Hamilton notched her second goal of the game, assisted by Guglielmo, at 48:37.

Houle gave the Friars a 5-0 lead in the 52nd minute with her second goal of the game, assisted by Hamilton. It marked the second multi-goal game of her career.

Guglielmo finished off the scoring with back-to-back goals of her own in the 54th and 59th minutes of play. Hamilton earned the assist on each play. Guglielmo's seven points in the game mark a career high.

Senior goalkeeper Deidra Clymer (South Windsor, Conn.) picked up the shut-out victory for Providence with two saves. Jordyn Clipstone played 52:20 in goal for Villanova allowed five goals and made six saves. She was replaced by Kristina Roberts with 15:40 remaining in the game. Roberts allowed two goals and did not collect a save.

The Friars head into the BIG EAST Field Hockey Championship as the No. 4 seed and will face the No. 1 seed (TBA) at 3:30 p.m. in the semifinals on Nov. 7. The No. 2 and No. 3 seeds (TBA) will play at 1:00 p.m. on that day. The winner of each semifinal will advance to the BIG EAST Championship game on Sunday, Nov. 9 at 1:00 p.m. A complete BIG EAST Tournament bracket will be released by the league office at the completion of today's games.

Providence enters the tournament with a league-best 65 goals. The Friars' 65 goals is the second-highest single-season total in program history. In 1989, Providence tallied a school-record 67 goals. Only three times during the program's 39-year history have the Friars scored 60+ goals in a season.
