OWINGS MILLS, Md. – Senior captain
Celina Kaufman (Queenstown, Md./Kent Island) propels the St. Mary's College of Maryland field hockey team (1-1) to their first win of the season as Kaufman scored the game-winning goal 13 seconds into the second extra period for a 3-2 double overtime victory over Stevenson University (1-1) on Saturday afternoon (Sept. 3).
How It Happened
- Thirteen seconds into the second overtime frame, St. Mary's College earned a penalty stroke. Kaufman stepped up to the spot and flicked the ball into the left side of the goal for the Seahawks' first win of 2022.
