HINGHAM – The list of unbeaten teams remaining across the state has rapidly shrunk over the last couple weeks; a trend the Sandwich field hockey team added to Monday night by taking down the last one left in Div. 2.

Junior midfielder Khloe Schultz scored before assisting sophomore Sadie Clarkin in the first quarter, executing on a pair of the many corners the No. 5 Blue Knights (11-0) produced in a 2-0 nonleague win over No. 10 Hingham (10-1-1).

Each of the three corners Sandwich forced in that opening frame were needed, as a stingy Harborwomen defense didn’t allow many offensive opportunities on the field in a game with plenty of back-and-forth between the 25s.

Sandwich’s played well too, allowing just one shot on goal for the team’s 10th shutout this year.

“Both teams, I think, were great,” said Knights head coach Kelsy Beaton. “This was such great field hockey. For both (coaches), we love a game like this. … For us, I think we did a lot of stuff right. And the things we did wrong, I feel like I can fix.”

Midfielders and defenses flourished for both teams throughout the first quarter, anchoring a mostly uneventful frame. That’s what made the two corners Sandwich scored on so critical.

Schultz and Quinn Jordan played major roles on both, as Jordan’s quick and accurate insert to Schultz at the top of the circle allowed her time to orchestrate quality shots. On the first, Schultz set herself up for a strong drive she buried less than five minutes in. Sandwich drew an expired-time corner to end the frame, in which Schultz sent the ball flat to Clarkin at the left wing for another strong shot and a 2-0 lead.

Of the 13 shots the Knights got on Harborwomen goalie Molly McDonald (nine saves), 10 came on corners. Several of those shots were from or set up by Schultz.

“(Schultz) has every part of the game,” Beaton said. “She is a terrific defender in the circle. Offensively, I think she is my leading scorer. So, she’s a center-mid who’s capable of scoring but she also dishes really well. … Her whole game is just terrific.”

Hingham posted a shutout the rest of the way, but momentum built from there for Sandwich.

It could be seen through its nine corners in the second quarter, coming in bunches of two or three whenever the Knights finally penetrated the circle. Much of the second half was spent on Hingham’s side of the field too, though Ryan Hallisey, Siena Brackett, freshman Sam McCabe (two defensive saves) and McDonald stood out to prevent any more damage.

Sandwich forced 18 corners and a 13-1 shot advantage by the end. Building a two-goal lead played a huge role.

“It sets the tone, but it also settles,” Beaton said. “I love it when they score early, I think it’s almost like that yoga-cleansing breath. … When we can do that, especially in a good game, it gets our nerves out.”

Alivia Barnes, Clarkin, Schultz and Jordan all flashed a bevy of moves and passes to create promising moments downfield, though Hingham excelled in snuffing most of them. Sandwich’s Julia O’Neil and Abby Cotter starred in the effort to neutralize the Harborwomen attack, too, limiting it to just the one shot on goal and several shots that went wide of the net.
