Field Hockey Falls to Muhlenberg, 2-0

Allentown, PA – The Montclair State University field hockey team fell to Muhlenberg 2-0 on Saturday afternoon.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Red Hawks (2-5) withstood an early offensive opportunity from the Mules, as a shot attempt off a penalty corner was blocked in the third minute. Four minutes later, Muhlenberg saw another shot blocked before they capitalized on the loose ball with an attempt to the far high corner of the cage. SYDNEY WHITE notched a save in the waning moments of the stanza to keep the margin at one.
  • Muhlenberg doubled their advantage early in the second period on a turnaround shot in front of the cage, slotting an attempt towards the far corner. The Red Hawks looked to cut into the deficit in the latter stages of the half, tallying four shots during a stretch of three penalty corners in two minutes. NATALIE SURMA led the way during the sequence with three shots, but the two sides went into the break at 2-0.
  • Montclair held most of the offensive opportunities in the third quarter, as SADIE EICHLIN ripped a shot that went just wide in the opening minute. Surma saw an attempt blocked shortly after, as the Red Hawks accumulated three penalty corners throughout the period. BELLA HEISER notched the first attempt on frame in the contest for Montclair, as the Mules parried it away to maintain the margin going into the final stanza.
  • The home side looked to add to their lead in the early stages of the fourth with a shot that was blocked in the third minute. Shortly after, Surma registered a pair of attempts on frame that had to be saved by the Mules. Muhlenberg recorded the only remaining shot of the contest, sealing the home victory.
INSIDE THE RESULTS
  • Surma led the way offensively for Montclair with six shots, including two on target.
  • White recorded five saves in the cage for the Red Hawks.
FROM THE FIELD

"The outcome today serves as a difficult lesson for our team. We need to be more consistent with our focus and intensity early in the game. Muhlenberg challenged us with dynamic attack and gritty circle play, but we also had our opportunities to score and we just didn't get the job done in the attacking circle. We are learning and growing - and throughout that process we will demand greater discipline and stronger intentional focus on a daily basis. We will also lean into our resilience as we prepare for tough competition in our upcoming games." - Head Coach Eileen O'Reilly

UP NEXT

The Red Hawks will open a four-game homestand on Saturday, September 27 against #2 Christopher Newport. Game time from Sprague Field is scheduled for 11:00 AM.
