Mercy beat Molloy 3-0 to clinch a share of its first East Coast Conference regular-season field hockey title. Addison Testa scored twice, and Kaylise McClure made 11 saves as Mercy secured the tournament’s top seed and extended its program-record winning streak.

By the Numbers
  • Mercy: 9-7 overall, 8-2 in conference; seven straight wins and a program-record nine victories this season.
  • Testa: 2 goals, 6 goals and a team-high 17 points this season.
  • McClure: 11 saves, her ninth win and third shutout of the season.
  • Shots were tied 15-15; Molloy led shots on goal 11-10, while Mercy led penalty corners 9-6.
Yes, But

Molloy matched Mercy in total shots and had more shots on goal, but McClure kept the Lions scoreless. Mercy’s conference title is a share, not an outright championship.

State of Play
  • Mercy earned the No. 1 seed by holding the tiebreaker over Roberts Wesleyan.
  • The Mavericks host No. 4 D’Youville in the conference semifinal Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 1 p.m.

Bottom Line

Mercy’s record-setting run has delivered its first regular-season conference title share—and home-field advantage through the ECC tournament.
