St. Mary's City, Md. - The St. Mary's College
of Maryland field hockey team extended their home-game win streak
to 10 with a 2-0 shutout of York (Pa.) College in Capital Athletic
Conference action Saturday afternoon. The Seahawks' (7-2, 4-1
CAC) last loss at Seahawk Stadium was a 1-0 overtime setback to
Lynchburg College on September 17, 2006.
Senior forward Marianne Wood (Wakefield,
Mass./Wakefield Memorial) started the scoring with her sixth tally
of the season at 15:38. The Hawks out-shot York, 7-1, in the
first half as SMCM held on for the 1-0 halftime lead.
Wood had a hand in St. Mary's second goal as she slotted a pass
to the far right post where senior forward Mary Lyle
Jeanes (Orange, Va./Orange County) deflected it in for her
fourth of the year at 43:59.
The Spartans came alive in the second half, securing 10 penalty
corners and forcing senior Emily Richards (Silver
Spring, Md./Springbrook) to make a couple of split saves at either
post. But York (4-9, 2-4 CAC) was unable to capitalize on
those opportunities.
St. Mary's finished with a 15-8 shot advantage, while the
Spartans held a 13-5 margin on penalty corners.
Richards ended the game with a pair of saves in her fourth
shutout, while sophomore Claire Rekitzke (Seaford,
Del./Seaford) made six stops in the loss for YCP.
The Seahawks will return to action Tuesday, October 2 when SMCM
travels to Chestertown, Maryland to take on Washington (Md.)
College in non-conference action at 7:00. York will host
Gwynedd-Mercy College in its next game on October 3 at 4:00.
