WINCHESTER, Va. — The Shenandoah University Field Hockey team advanced past fifth seed Roanoke College with a 2-0 home win in the ODAC Quarterfinal. The Hornets (13-4) continue their streak of reaching the ODAC Semifinal match since joining the league in 2012. With the loss, Roanoke falls to 6-12 on the season.
HOW IT HAPPENED
It was a relatively quiet game overall, but the Hornets struck first in the 14th minute on a penalty corner, when
Kierney Weigle connected with
Ava Fields, who was right on the doorstep.
Fields got involved again when she found
Rylin McCloskey after a Roanoke foul, and McCloskey finished from the edge of the circle.
The Hornets were dominant on paper, out-shooting the Maroons 15-1 (4-1 on goal), and earning more corners 9-4.
Hornet goalkeeper
Cassidy Alexander made just the one save late in the contest and improved her season record to 13-4.
