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.

The Greyhounds opened with Senior Day presentations to captain/defender DANIELLE PERRON (Auburn, MA/Notre Dame), captain/midfielder JENNA LUCE (Conway, MA/Frontier), forward SARAH BULLOCK (Chelmsford, MA/Chelmsford) and midfielder JESSICA KEEFE (Mansfield, MA/Mansfield).

Zysk scored the game-winner at 60:22 as sophomore forward MICHELLE PASQUALE (Shrewsbury, MA/Shrewsbury) took the original shot which was kicked out by Merrimack goalkeeper AMY LARRABEE (Stratham, NH/Exeter). Bullock collected the rebound and slid a pass over to Zysk who tipped it into the far end of the net.

Zysk finished the season with eight goals and tied for the team lead in that department with Bullock. Sophomore SARAH RANIERI (Bellingham, MA/Bellingham) was the team's leading scorer with 7-6--20.
