Box Score

York, Pa. - Sophomore forward Kristen Deegan (Highland, Md./Hammond) notched her first goal of the season in helping the St. Mary's College of Maryland field hockey squad snap a four-game losing skid with a 1-0 victory over Capital Athletic Conference foe, York College of Pennsylvania, on Saturday afternoon.

St. Mary's (5-6, 4-1 CAC) struck early as Deegan finished off a pass from senior captain Emily Smithson (Richmond, Va./James River) at 12:43.

Deegan's goal proved to be the game-winner as the Spartans (6-8, 2-4 CAC) could not manage to get a shot past sophomore Emma Lauhoff (Wayne, Pa./Radnor), who finished the afternoon with nine stops in keeping YCP at bay.

York posted a 20-15 shot advantage over the Seahawks, while several opportunities to put in the cage as the Spartans were awarded 13 penalty corners during the game.  St. Mary's picked up four of its five corners in the first half.

Rekitzke recorded six saves in the loss for YCP.

St. Mary's hopes to remain in the win column when the Seahawks travel to Ashland, Va. to take on Randolph-Macon College in non-conference action at 4:00 on Tuesday, October 14.
