Wayne, NJ (9/18/02) - The Montclair State University field hockey team rebounded from its first loss of the year with a 1-0 win tonight at New Jersey Athletic Conference rival William Paterson University.
MSU sophomore forward AMANDA PARK (Cape May, NJ/Cape May Reg.) tallied the game's only goal with 9:15 remaining in regulation. The goal was assisted by junior forward LEA SMITH (Littlestown, PA/Littlestown) off a corner.

Red Hawk junior goalkeeper TRISHA WINKLE (Forked River, NJ/Lacey Township) stopped eight shots as MSU outshot WPU, 11-10, and improved to 3-1 overall and 1-1 in NJAC play. It was Winkle's third shutout of the season, and the 10th of her MSU career.

The Red Hawks also outcornered the Pioneers (4-1, 0-1 NJAC) by an 18-5 margin. Sophomore netminder Kelly Harchetts stopped seven shots for WPU, which defeated MSU, 3-1, exactly one year ago at Sprague Field.

Montclair returns to action at Wesley (DE) on Saturday, Sept. 21, at 1:00 p.m.
