LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – Out-shooting them 21-7, the Lock Haven University field hockey team (1-0) downed the University of Vermont (1-1) 3-0 today (Aug. 28), at Charlotte Smith Field. The stifling LHU defense allowed just one shot on goal.

Junior Mandy Daschbach (Telford, Pa./Christopher Dock) got the scoring started just 5:50 in, as she used her high school track star speed for a breakaway on a loose ball, making one move right before firing it past the Catamount keeper.

The Lady Eagles would pick up the scoring quickly in the second half, as junior Sarah Huber (Plymouth Meeting, Pa./Christopher Dock) re-directed a sophomore Blair L. Wynne (Arima, Trinidad & Tobago/Sangre Grande) shot on the left side for the 2-0 lead with just over 30 minutes left in the game.

Huber would finish the day with three points after senior Courtney Hughes (Schwenksville, Pa./Souderton) took her entry pass directly off the penalty corner and fired it to the right side of the cage for the 3-0 victory.

Haven goalkeeper Becca Yerkes (West Grove, Pa./Avon Grove) recorded just one save, but thwarted a few more cross-pass attempts for her first career shutout and victory (1-0). Vermont’s Erin Hickey made 10 saves in 13 tries to fall to 1-1.

Daschbach, Huber, Wynne, Hughes, Yerkes and the rest of the Lady Eagles are back in action Wednesday, Aug. 31 at 7 p.m. when they play host to Lehigh University (1-1).
