Field Hockey Wins 2nd Straight; 4-3 over SCSU

New Haven, Conn. - The Women's Field Hockey team continued its hot play of late, winning its second straight conference game, by the score of 4-3 over Southern Connecticut.

The Bulldogs struck early with Shana Libman (Attleboro, Mass.) and Caitlan Johnson (Walpole, Mass.) scoring 13 minutes apart early in the first half. Johnson's goal was her team-leading third and was scored off a penalty corner.

After SCSU made it 2-1, co-captain Michaela Dwyer (Buskirk, N.Y.) answered six minutes later, scoring her first of the season assisted by Bryant's other co-captain Laynie Sadler (Rehoboth, Mass.)

Freshman Ashley Rebello (Oak Bluffs, Mass.) picked a great time for her first collegiate goal, as she opened the second half with a big goal to give the Bulldogs the 4-1 lead.

But the Owls stormed right back scoring twice in three minutes. However, Bryant's defense re-focused and defended its lead flawlessly in the final ten minutes giving the Bulldogs the one-goal victory.

Kundayi Mawema (Hare, Zimbabwe) made seven saves to pick up her second victory of the season

Bryant (2-3, 2-1 NE-10) will host Franklin Pierce Saturday at the Bryant Turf Complex at 7 p.m.
