Field Hockey Falls to Villanova in Road Matchup

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. – Despite a career-high 16 saves from junior goalkeeper Emilee Woodall, the Towson University field hockey team fell 3-0 at Villanova on Sunday afternoon.
 
Villanova (2-8) used a pair of second-half goals to defeat Towson (2-7) at the Villanova Field Hockey Field.
 
How it Happened
  • The game was scoreless for the first 28 minutes as the Tiger defense fought off three penalty corner opportunities by the Wildcats and Woodall made six saves.
  • Towson had its first scoring chance in the game's 22nd minute as junior Taylor Kvilhaug attempted to get one past Villanova goalkeeper Erika Miller but was denied.
  • Villanova ended the game's scoreless streak at 28:35 as Emma McLaughlin scored from the middle on a pass from Allison Sayia that came outside the circle.
