Newport — Three different girls scored before the half to help lift the Newport High field hockey team to a 5-2 victory over visiting Stevens at Bates Field on a cold, wet Monday afternoon.

Lacey McNeel, Morgan Roberts and Maddie Miller each scored once in the opening half for the Tigers. Three minutes into the second half, Zoey Foote scored for the Cards. Brianna Frisbee later scored to pull Stevens within one.

Miller closed the door on a potential comeback with her second goal of the game, followed by an Eliza Bates goal one minute later.

Newport (7-5-0) hosts Con-Val today for its senior game. Stevens (5-6-1) hosts Monadnock this evening.

Pembroke, n.h. — Abigail Wilson scored for the Marauders off a pass from Sage McGinley-Smith 33 minutes into the match, but Hanover couldn’t score the rest of the game, eventually falling in double overtime.

“Pepper Joseph came close in the first overtime, but they scored 2 to 3 minutes into the second overtime,” Hanover coach Doug Kennedy said. “They played a really good, high-level game. It was good to see the girls come up and play at that level.”

Caroline Adams and Casey McGuire had strong games at midfield for the Marauders (8-2-1), who host Manchester West today.

Pittsfield 6, Newport 1

Newport — The Tigers produced a 1-1 tie on Joe Boliero’s penalty kick a minute before halftime but fell to 2-7-1.

Pittsfield (4-8) “was more aggressive in running through the ball,” said first-year coach Caleb Godwin. “We have too many guys falling back and returning to their old habits from previous seasons. We want to be more offensive and push forward, but the passing and talking is better. They used to just boot the ball in the past.”

Newport hosts Hinsdale (5-6) today, hoping to hand the Pacers their fifth consecutive loss.
