Field Hockey Drops Closely Contested Game to Wilson

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. – Sweet Briar field hockey (1-1, 1-1 CSAC) dropped a closely contested 3-2 game to Wilson College (2-0, 1-0 CSAC) on Sunday.
 
Both teams were held scoreless through most of the first half of the game, until a late second-quarter goal by the Phoenix gave them the 1-0 lead. Eight of senior Janie Bolling's (Hereford, Md.) 11 total saves came through the first two quarters.
 
Sweet Briar would respond to Wilson's late second-quarter goal with one of its own only a minute and half into the third thanks to sophomore Brynna Hughes (Richmond, Va.). First-year Kailey McCarthy (Atkinson, N.H.) tallied her first goal in a Vixens uniform in the third quarter to once again tie things up, this time at 2-2.
 
However, Wilson would respond to put them out into the lead for the third time, and a scoreless fourth quarter for both sides ended play at a 3-2 victory for the Phoenix.  
 
Highlights
  • Bolling's 11 saves marks a new career high
 
What's Next
The Vixens will hit the road for a pair of away games next week. First, Sweet Briar will face Ferrum on Sept. 8 at 7 p.m. before heading to Ohio for action against Oberlin on Sept. 11 at 11 a.m.
