The Sweet Briar Field Hockey team dropped a 10-2 decision to the Yeomen of Oberlin College in their home opener today at Thayer Field.  The Vixens fell to 0-2 on the young season, while Oberlin improved to 2-0.

Transfer student Dana Craft ('13/Derwood, Md.) recorded her first two goals in a Vixen uniform, leading the way offensively for the hosts.  Craft scored an unassisted tally in the first half, and was assisted by Lorelai Whittaker ('14/Chesapeake, Va.) for her second goal.  Laura Wolf ('11/Yorklyn, Del.) earned the start in goal, moving to the mid-field for the second half as junior Emma Rakosky (Ellicott City, Md.) took over in the net. 

The Vixen defensive trio Alex St.Pierre (Jr./So. Hamilton, Mass.), Maggie McNamara (Sr./Arlington, Va.) and Julie Dophiede (So./Glen Mills, Pa.) played well against a strong Yeoman attack.

The Vixens return to Thayer Field to take on Wittenberg College tomorrow at 11am.
