Scranton Tops Field Hockey 2-1 in Overtime

Scranton, PA (10/14/09) —Senior forward Liz Carugan (South Salem, N.Y./John Jay) scored a goal on a breakaway 43 seconds into overtime to lift The University of Scranton to a 2-1 victory over Montclair State University in non-conference action Wednesday afternoon at Fitzpatrick Field.

Carugan's goal was set up by junior forward Liz Mauer (Eagleville, Pa./Archbishop Carroll), who cleared the ball to a wide-open Carugan at midfield. Carugan then advanced the ball down the field and found herself in a one-on-one situation against Red Hawk freshman goalie MEGAN BOSLAND (Boonton, N.J./Boonton) and blasted a shot from 18 yards out for her fifth goal of the year.

The win was the second straight for Scranton, now 6-7, and breaks a nine-game series losing streak to the Red Hawks, now 8-4 on the year.

Carugan also played a crucial role in Scranton's first goal, setting up first-year forward Gretchen Kempf's (Warrington, Pa./Central Bucks South) team-leading seventh goal of the season in the 42nd minute of the second half. Carugan advanced the ball from the left sideline to Kempf, who drilled a shot from 14 yards out that caught the cage's right corner. Kempf's shot was also Scranton's first of the game.

Montclair State dominated the game offensively, building up an 18-4 advantage in shots and a 9-1 margin in penalty corners. The Red Hawks took a 1-0 lead on a heads-up play by senior midfielder JUSTINE DIPAOLO (Lanoka Harbor, N.J./Lacey Township), who out-fought a couple of Royal defenders and blasted in a shot from 16 yards out for her fourth goal of the year.

The Red Hawks out-shot Scranton, 10-0, and led 1-0 by intermission, but Royal junior goalie Deirdre Rocklein (Islip Terrace, N.Y./East Islip) stopped several potential Montclair State scoring opportunities by finishing with seven saves in the first half and 11 for the game. Bosland was credited with a save for Montclair State, which had a two-game winning streak snapped.

The Red Hawks are now off until Tuesday, October 20, when they travel to Kean University to take on the Cougars at 7:30 pm in Union, NJ.
