PSU Panthers Open Preseason with Game Against St. A's Hawks


Grappone Stadium: Home of the St. Anselm Hawks

  On Saturday, February 18th at 4:30 the PSU Panthers opened their preseason with a match against the Saint Anselm Hawks.  This was the first opportunity for PSU to play on a full, turf field as a team.  The Panther's starting line up of 12 was made up of 5 freshman.  The first draw of the night was full of suspense as freshman Molly Gleason made her debut as a PSU Panther.  

  The night proved to highlight both strengths and weakness of the young PSU team.  Coach Kristin Blanchette explained, "I thought tonight was very eye opening and also a great opportunity for our team."  Although the Panthers came out with a loss, they are now prepared to analyze tape, practice their weaknesses and become better prepared to face the season head on.  

  The Panthers will have another preseason opportunity in which they hope to use as the measure of their progression.  PSU will head to the University of New England on Saturday, February 25th.  We look forward to our progression and successes as we take the first steps on our journey to the Championships!

  Thanks again to our amazing PSU parents who supported and fed our team with an amazing tail-gate buffet.  You are more appreciated than you'll ever know!
