St. Mary’s College Field Hockey Upended by Penn State Harrisburg in Double OT

MIDDLETOWN, Pa. – The St. Mary's College of Maryland field hockey team lost a heartbreaker Wednesday evening (Oct. 7) in a key United East Conference matchup. St. Mary's College (4-6, 1-1 UEC) dropped a 2-1 double overtime decision at Penn State Harrisburg (6-5, 2-0 UEC).
 
Today's loss snaps a 27-0 regular-season conference record which began Oct. 9, 2021 with a 4-0 victory over Neumann University. Before today, their last conference loss came in the Capital Athletic Conference on Oct. 30, 2019 – a 1-0 loss to Christopher Newport University.
 
How It Happened
  • The Seahawks earned a penalty corner less than two minutes into the second extra frame and sophomore midfielder Julie Presgraves (Frederick, Md./Frederick) fired off a shot at 71:25 which was turned away by Mackenzie Mulholland. That was the only offensive threat until 75:15 when Alyssa McCarthy deflected Bailey Rucker's pass for the game-winning goal.
  • SMCM drew first blood when sophomore forward Josie Mascolo (Leonardtown, Md./St. Mary's Ryken) hit the back of the cage with her team-leading fourth goal of the season at 3:46. St. Mary's College outshot the Lions, 3-0 in the first 15 minutes.
  • Penn State Harrisburg leveled up the score at 25:43 when Rucker finished off a pass from Astrid Comp for a 1-1 draw heading into halftime.
  • Mascolo took the only shot of the third quarter, which was blocked by the Lion defense, off the lone penalty corner at 41:38.
  • The home team owned a 2-1 shot advantage in the fourth stanza but each defensive unit took care of business, and the game went into an extra frame.
  • In the first OT period, Harrisburg earned two corners but did not generate any offensive opportunities from them.
