AMHERST, Va. – Sweet Briar field hockey (2-6, 0-1 CSAC) was overpowered by the Roanoke Maroons (6-2, 0-0 ODAC) tonight, falling by a score of 2-0.
 
A close contest early on, the Maroons got on the board at the 13:25 mark with a successful penalty corner opportunity.
 
A scoreless second quarter which saw sophomore goalkeeper Ashley Maggiora (Hollister, Calif.) make three saves helped keep the game at 1-0 entering the half.
 
An early third-quarter goal from Roanoke to go up by two proved to be too much of a deficit for the Vixens to overcome, despite quadrupling their shot total in the second half of play.
 
A four-save quarter from Maggiora helped keep the final score at 2-0.
 
Highlights

• Maggiora recorded 10 total saves.
• Sophomore Jolin Daughety (Williamsburg, Va.) led Sweet Briar in shots with two, followed by senior Colleen Goodly (Yorktown, Va.) and junior Avery Jones (Union, Conn.) with one each.
