St. Mary's City, Md. - The St. Mary's College of Maryland field hockey team halted its losing streak at two games as the Seahawks posted a 2-1 non-conference victory over Randolph-Macon College Sunday afternoon.

This is St. Mary's (3-3) third straight win against the Yellow Jackets (0-7), who are left still chasing their first win of the season.  The Seahawks now own a 6-3 advantage in the series history that began on October 4, 1994.

St. Mary's went up on the scoreboard first as junior midfielder Allie Skiest (Arnold, Md./Seton Keough) sent in a cross to the right post where junior forward Jackie Ward (Annapolis, Md./Annapolis) put it in at 10:13 for her first tally of the season.

Just shy of four minutes later, junior midfielder Monica Jenkins (Culpepper, Va./Culpepper) redirected the rebound off the pads of sophomore Caitlin Cromer (Halethorpe, Md./Seton Keough) to knot the contest at 1-1.  The game remained tied through halftime.

With the game looking on the verge of going into overtime, freshman forward Lauriann Parker (Woodbine, Md./Glenelg) notched her second tally of the season as Parker fired in a shot towards the far left corner and the ball deflected off a defender's stick with 12:24 remaining in regulation.

The Seahawks held on for the win as St. Mary's defense cut short R-MC's late rally.
