BRIDGEWATER, Va. – Sweet Briar field hockey (1-4, 0-0 CSAC) dropped its match to the Bridgewater College Eagles (1-3, 0-0 ODAC) today by a score of 3-1.
The Eagles struck first after a scoreless quarter which saw only three total shots from both teams, finding the back of the net a little over two minutes into play in the second.
Sophomore
Jolin Daughety (Williamsburg, Va.) would tie the match up at one with her first goal of the season at the 38-minute mark in the third.

"It was a tough game. We made a lot of adjustments and I'm really proud of our second half efforts," remarked Head Coach
Hannah Lott. "[The game] included a great connections and a beautiful goal [by Daughety] which was an exact replica of last year's overtime win".
