BEVERLY, Mass. — The No. 20 nationally ranked Endicott field hockey team defeated MIT, 3-1, on Tuesday evening at North Field.

The Gulls got on the scoreboard just 1:33 into the game when Sydney Poulin (Watertown, Mass.) found the end of a Kristen McCarthy (Danvers, Mass.) pass to give the Blue and Green a 1-0 lead.

After MIT tied the game at one-all, Olivia Lampasona (Watertown, Mass.) buried a cross-field pass in the scoring area from McCarthy to put Endicott right back in front, 2-1, just seconds later.

Meanwhile, Jaylin Grabau (Lynnfield, Mass.) added an insurance goal for the Gulls late in the fourth quarter at 53:54 to ice the game.
