PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Simmons field hockey (4-5, 2-3 GNAC) fell to Johnson & Wales University (8-3, 4-1 GNAC) in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) action, Wednesday evening.  

The Sharks jumped in front early. Junior Maddie Beckwith scored her fifth goal of the season, burying the ball in the back of the goal in the 11th minute to take a 1-0 lead, which the Sharks cared into the half.
