Norwood was identified prior to the season as one of the biggest challenges on the Nantucket field hockey fall schedule. The Division I opponent paid a visit to the island Monday afternoon and could not match the speed and offensive pressure of the skilled Division II Whalers’ squad, ultimately falling 3-0. It is the first time Nantucket has ever beaten the Norwood team.


It was the fourth shutout of the season for Nantucket, which improved to 5-1 overall. Through six games the Whalers have allowed only three goals, while scoring 22.
