AMHERST, MA - The 18th-ranked Amherst College field hockey team finished its regular season at 10-4 overall (6-3 NESCAC) with a 5-2 win over visiting NESCAC rival Trinity College on Saturday. With the victory, Amherst earns the No. 4 seed and a first-round home game in the NESCAC Postseason Championship Tournament.

Amherst used a pair of goals by sophomore midfielder Katherine Skrivan (St. Louis, MO) - assisted by junior Tyler Kelly (Bronxville, NY) and senior co-captain Christine Ryan (Summit, NJ), respectively - to take a 2-1 lead at the half.
