Ziegler Becomes All-Time Goals Leader as SMCM Field Hockey Rolls Past Wittenberg

RALEIGH, N.C. – Senior forward Brenna Ziegler (Newark, Del./Newark Charter) scored three times on her way to becoming the all-time goals leader for the St. Mary's College of Maryland field hockey program. St. Mary's College wrapped up its North Carolina trip Sunday (Sept. 28) with its fourth shutout of the season as the Seahawks (6-4) notched an 8-0 non-conference win over Wittenberg University (0-8), snapping their three-game skid.
 
Ziegler claimed the all-time goals leader title with her second goal of the game. Her three-goal performance today brings her career total to 46, surpassing the mark of 44 set by Lauriann Parker '13.

  • Ziegler picked up the lone goal of the third frame at 32:04 to make it a 6-0 game.
  • Senior captain Jena Vanskiver (Fallston, Md./Fallston) and first-year defender Josie Mascolo (Leonardtown, Md./St. Mary's Ryken) each scored their first goal of the season in the fourth stanza to round out the scoring.
