SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. — The ESU field hockey team fell to Kutztown for the second time this season — this time in the PSAC Semifinals — ending their conference tournament run in a 2-0 loss.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Golden Bears took control of the game out of the gate and never let go, outshooting the Warriors 12-1 in the first half with nine shots on target. A three-minute stretch was the difference on the scoreboard, as Jessica Traynor and Bree Zaccolo scored with 6:22 and 3:59 left in the first half.
ESU finished with two shots on goal, both coming in the second half. Midfielder
Elaiana Rivera-Lagalla's go off a penalty corner was stopped by Lorelai Lehenky, and forward
Rylie McGrath's try in the opening 28 seconds of the fourth quarter was turned aside as well.
Kutztown finished with an overall edge in shots, 15-4, with 11 on goal, but penalty corners were only 3-2 for the Golden Bears.
