WORCESTER, Mass. - The Holy Cross field hockey team will travel to Providence this Wednesday to take on Brown.

The Crusaders are coming off a 2-1 win over Vermont Sunday that pushed their record back to .500 on the year. The Bears most recently lost to Harvard, 9-1, falling to 4-7 overall.

Things to know about Holy Cross (6-6):

• Keely Smith scored her second goal of the season against the Catamounts and Sinead Walsh picked up her third assist. Marcia LaPlante is currently fourth in the country with her .808 save percentage.
