Westfield vs. AL Johnson@ UCT Field Hockey
Summit, NJ (Louis W. Rossi for NJSI/Photos by Alex Cena) - The Ladies of Cranford weren’t the only ones asserting themselves during the evening game series at Pat Conley Field in Summit this Saturday October 6, 2007. A.L. Johnson began their game around 5pm, coming out into what seemed to be a stalemate with Westfield H.S.
The tension finally broke when #29 Jamie Mytrowitz with 14:53 remaining in the first period. The one goal lead for A.L. Johnson held up the remaining 15 minutes; Mytrowitz’s goal would give her teammates the advantage heading into the second half.
Coming back from halftime, A.L. Johnson never looked back. Dominating Westfield’s defense and
scoring just over 2 minutes after coming back onto the field. #39 Courtney Maulen would score an unassisted goal off a corner shot to put A.L. Johnson up by two.
#7 Meghan Howlett would also score an unassisted corner shot goal at 23:56, just four minutes after Maulen’s, to give a comfortable lead of 3-0 for her team to lean on.
Westfield’s defense remained determined never giving up or conceding in the face of what seemed to be an almost inevitable outcome. But continuing the press into enemy territory was #47 Allison Nudo feeding her teammate #2 Jessica Rusin with 17:50 left to play, giving Johnson a four goal lead. But the ladies from A.L. Johnson weren’t done quite yet.
Finally sealing the deal was #51 Katie Grey. With just over ten minutes to play Grey scored the games third unassisted goal, allowing herself, and her teammates to relax and enjoy themselves – and their hearty lead as the clock ran out on Westfield.

Cranford vs G.Livingston @ UCT Field Hockey

Summit, NJ (Written by Louis W. Rossi for NJSI/Photos by Alex Cena) - As the Shade began to finally take over Pat Conley Field in Summit, the Ladies of Cranford and G. Livingston field hockey took the field for the second Union County Tournament quarterfinals game to be played there this past Saturday, October 06.
“We were very concerned coming into this game,” stated Cranford Coach Jodie Perrotti, “[G. Livingston] is a team we have a lot of respect for. They’re a very quick team. They could score at any time.”
Despite Perrotti’s concerns the first half began on a solemn note, both teams pushing deep into each other’s respective territory and being almost immediately turned around by the opposition. However it didn’t take long for the ladies of Cranford to start establishing a monopoly on the ball; keeping G. Livingston on their toes and forcing their defense to make countless plays to keep the threat level low.
Amongst the key defenders for G. Livingston was #26 Jess Bostwick, making countless stops, steals, and eventual clearing shots well past the midfield giving Cranford an unmistakably frustrating experience
when driving the ball towards the goal.
Despite the effort of Bostwick and her teammates, # 9 Ashli Kravarik of Cranford, assisted by #28 Jenn Handy, scored with just 1:58 remaining in the first half.
The advantage of being one goal up starting the second half stuck throughout the remainder of the game. Just six minutes after the half #21 Elizabeth Snyder, assisted by #9 Ashli Kravarik, broke through the defense to score one of what would be three second half goals.
Cranford continued to work hard keeping the ball in G. Livingston’s territory for all but a few moments the second half. Cranford’s own goaltender, Becky Quinn, in fact only saw one shot come her way the entirety of the game, a misdirected shot coming through traffic which ricochet off her pads and out of bounds ten minutes into the second half.
Just shy of 11 minutes left to play, a penalty was called on Livingston goaltender A. Sylvester for trapping the ball. Cranford’s #30, Jennie Drecksel, was awarded a penalty stroke; which she assertively scored giving Cranford a 3-0 lead.
But that wouldn’t be all; Drecksel would be back again eight minutes later to score on an assist from #17 Kristen Hardman, putting Cranford up 4-0 and all but sealing the game against G. Livingston.
After the game Perrotti offered her thoughts on the victory saying, “I was especially concerned the first three minutes we were out there. We weren’t making our cuts and seemed a bit sluggish and un-reactive to the ball. This is [G. Livingston]’s advantage being on the same surface type they play on at their home field. We played hard, and were thankfully rewarded.”
