Ziegler Propels Seahawks Field Hockey to Third Straight Win

ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. – Senior forward Brenna Ziegler's (Newark, Del./Newark Charter) goal early in the fourth frame proved to be the difference in the St. Mary's College of Maryland field hockey team's third consecutive win Saturday afternoon (Sept. 6).
