Colts Neck Captures First Divisional Title in Program History

After a two-game winless skid, the Colts Neck field hockey team created some history of its own last Thursday.

Amy Flood scored two goals and Jenna Filingeri added one goal to lead Colts Neck, No. 19 in the latest NJ.com Top 20 rankings, to a 4-0 victory over Howell in Colts Neck.

Senior Madison Bellows tallied two assists, senior Amy McGee and Ally Royle each dished out one assist apiece, and Helen Kiechlin stopped two shots for Colts Neck (13-1-1), which led 3-0 at halftime.

Flood has a team-leading 16 goals and Kiechlin recorded her eighth win and fourth shutout of the season.

With the win, Colts Neck clinched first place in the A North division for its first divisional championship in program history.

The Cougars, top-seeded in the upcoming NJSIAA North Jersey, Section 2, Group 3 tournament which starts this week, will have a first-round bye and will await to host the first-round winner between ninth-seeded Middletown South and eighth-seeded Neptune on Friday, October 27.
