HAMDEN, Conn. –
The Lock Haven University field hockey team (14-1, 4-0 NEC) remained
undefeated in its first season of Northeast Conference
play, thanks to two goals by senior Katie Stewartz
(Boyertown/Boyertown). Her goals helped defeat
Quinnipiac University
(3-11, 2-3 NEC), 2-1 tonight.
The
Haven took a 1-0 halftime lead on Stewartz’s first strike,
a tap in of a penalty corner rebound. Stewartz added her
second goal of the game, and the season, on another
penalty corner just over 16 minutes into the second half.
She redirected a shot from junior Nikki Sweger
(Dauphin/Central Dauphin East) into the side of the cage.
Quinnipiac’s Jill DiSanti followed with a goal of her own,
but it wasn’t enough, as the Lady Eagle defense held
strong for the final 12 minutes.
Senior
Melissa Stubblefield (Carmel, N.Y./Carmel) made
seven stops in eight tries for her 13th win of
the season. Erin McKay made seven saves in nine tries in
the loss.
Stewartz, Sweger, Stubblefield and the rest of the Lady
Eagles are back in action at Siena College on Sunday, Oct. 10 at 1
p.m. |
