Westfield State Defeat UMass Dartmouth 6-1 in Field Hockey

Andrade leads the charge

The reported result marked a major individual performance from Andrade, who was directly involved in four of Westfield State’s six goals. Her output gives the side a clear attacking focal point as it moves through the early part of the season.

The same account also highlights two other productive contributors:

  • Eliana Kaplan reportedly scored and made a defensive save in an 8-2 win over Framingham State.
  • Kaplan also supplied an assist in a reported 4-1 victory against Worcester State.
  • Kacey Curran is credited with four goals and an assist across those two conference wins.

That spread of production matters. Westfield State is not relying solely on Andrade, with Kaplan and Curran adding decisive contributions in conference play.

Momentum across the programme

The report says Westfield State’s wider sports schedule also produced strong results. In golf, Ryan Burgess reportedly tied for fifth with 78 strokes at the Brett Williamson Invitational, while Mike Cortis tied for seventh with 79. The team was said to finish tied for second, with its B and C teams also competing.

In women’s soccer, Lorelai Whalley assisted Kylie Tomasetti in a reported 2-2 draw with Mount Holyoke. Whalley had six points across the previous three matches, according to the update.

The next field hockey fixtures will test whether this reported seven-wins-in-eight stretch can become sustained conference momentum. The key storyline to watch is whether Andrade remains the headline performer or Westfield State’s supporting cast continues to decide matches.
