WORCESTER, Mass. --- Sophomore forward HILLARY ZYSK (Walpole, MA/Walpole) (PICTURED RIGHT) scored in the 61st minute and goalkeeper KAITLIN BURKE (Falmouth, MA/Falmouth) posted the shutout in her final game as Assumption College defeated Merrimack College, 1-0, in a Northeast-10 Conference field hockey game SUNDAY at the Multi-Sports Stadium.
