KENT — Kent School girls varsity hockey hosted Loomis Chaffee Jan. 15 at Nadal Hockey Rink.

The game promised to be a testing challenge for Kent as Loomis arrived with a 9-1 season record. From the first face off, Loomis showed their strength and control, keeping the puck at the Kent end of the ice.

Loomis captain Chloe Obser scored twice in the first period and again in the second. Her teammate, Lindsay Stepanowski, added two goals in the second as well.

Kent’s two power forwards, Renee Bishop and Ainsley Moffitt, made strong and threatening attacks but the Loomis defense kept them scoreless.

Kent’s Chloe Pittinaro finally found the Loomis goal and got the home team on the scoreboard early in the second period.

Loomis maintained control and the game ended with an 8-1 victory and advanced to a 10-1 season record. Kent’s record moved to 6-5.
