St. Mary's City, Md. - Junior midfielder Sarah Roth (Lancaster, Pa./Lancaster Mennonite) netted the game's only goal to help the Eastern Mennonite University field hockey team notch a 1-0 triumph over St. Mary's College of Maryland in non-conference action Tuesday afternoon.

Following a flurry of shots that were either blocked by the Seahawk defense or saved by sophomore Emma Lauhoff (Wayne, Pa./Radnor), Roth was able to find a gap and put one of Lauhoff's clears back into the lower left corner at 53:34 for what proved to be the game-winner.

The win extends Eastern Mennonite's (11-4) win streak to four games as the Royals outshot St. Mary's, 17-7, and posted a 5-2 advantage in penalty corners.

Lauhoff completed the match with six stops.  Sophomore Becky Nolt (East Berlin, Pa./Bermudian Springs), who ranks 34th in Division III in goals against average, picked up two stops in recording her seventh shutout of the season.

St. Mary's (7-8), who has already secured a spot in this year's six-team Capital Athletic Conference Tournament with its 5-1 CAC mark, awaits to find out what seed they will be in the upcoming tournament which begins on Sunday, November 2.

The Seahawks are currently in sole possession of second place with No. 10 Salisbury University and the University of Mary Washington playing the final CAC regular-season match-up this Saturday against each other at 1:00.  If Salisbury wins Saturday, then St. Mary's would be the No. 2 seed and would receive a first-round bye as the top two seeds get first-round byes.  However, if Mary Washington wins, there would be a coin flip to determine the seeding which means that the Seahawks could finish anywhere from the top seed to the No. 3 seed in the tournament.
