TOWSON, Md. - Towson University field hockey sophomore Jenna Johnson scored her first goal of the season while freshman Daniella DeSouza scored her first career point as the Tigers concluded the 2017 season with a 7-2 loss to No. 15 James Madison Sunday at Unitas Stadium.

Meanwhile, junior Katie McNeel scored for the second-straight game and finishes the year as the team's leading scorer with six goals and 12 points.

How it Happened

• With under six minutes remaining, Towson (1-16, 0-6 CAA) generated its first scoring change of the half, earning their first penalty corner.
• Off the insertion by freshman Paige Zaleppa, McNeel took one touch inside the circle and then blasted a shot inside the left post.
• The Dukes added their sixth goal with 1:19 left in the half before Towson earned two penalty corners after the clock had expired. However, the Tigers lone shot by McNeel was blocked.
