Hockey Loss

The Pierson-Bridgehampton field hockey team bested East Hampton here Monday, winning in a shootout that followed a 1-1 tie in regulation and a scoreless 7-on-7 overtime period during which E. Bistrian had several breakaways that, unfortunately, came to naught.

Charlotte Johnson and Maddie Schenck, the teams’ goalies, faced off in the shootout, with Johnson, the Whalers’ goalie, getting the better of the one-on-one confrontations. 

As a result, the Whalers vaulted over the Bonackers into ninth place among Division II’s 15 teams, and dropped East Hampton into 11th place.

Fight Night

Richie Daunt of Montauk and Luis Mancilla of Springs, both of whom box at Finest Fitness in Patchogue, are to fight Saturday night in the Long Island-Metro vs. Upstate championships at the State University at New Paltz — Daunt at 154 pounds, Mancilla at 140.

Tennis, Cross-Country

Becca Kuperschmid, who played first singles this fall for the East Hampton High School girls tennis team, finished fourth in the recent conference tournament, the best she’s done in that tourney thus far, her mother, Jackie Lowey, said in an email.

Diane O’Donnell, the girls cross-country team’s coach, said that Bella Tarbet and Ava Engstrom, ninth graders, finished 12th and 14th in the Division 1 varsity race at Brown University’s invitational meet this past weekend. Tarbet ran the 5K course in 19 minutes and 40 seconds, Engstrom in 19:49, both personal bests.
