St. Mary’s College Field Hockey Falls at Shenandoah

WINCHESTER, Va. – The St. Mary's College of Maryland field hockey team saw its five-game win streak halted Tuesday night (Sept. 27), giving up an early 1-0 lead. St. Mary's College (5-2) dropped to a 4-1 non-conference decision on the road to undefeated Shenandoah University (9-0).
 
How It Happened
  • The Seahawks drew first blood as first-year forward Brenna Ziegler (Newark, Del./Newark Charter) notched her third goal of the season at 2:17.
  • The visitors held on to the lead until the seventh minute when Shenandoah made good on a penalty corner to knot the game at 1-1. Cassidy Morrison scored for the Hornets with Lauren Tyre and Mairead McKibbin assisting on the goal.
  • About a minute later, SU staked a one-goal lead behind a tally from Farren Winter to head into the second quarter with the 2-1 advantage.
  • Neither side found the back of the cage over the next two periods.
  • In the second frame, St. Mary's generated three penalty corners to the Hornets' one and fired off three shots with two saved late in the half by Taylor Swann.
  • Shots and penalty corners were both a 2-1 margin in favor of the Seahawks in the third quarter, but the visitors were unable to put together any quality scoring opportunities.
  • Kelsey Jones sealed the win for Shenandoah with two goals in a span of less than five minutes to give the Hornets a 4-1 lead with 9:48 remaining in the game.
