TOWSON, Md. - Towson University field hockey senior Emilee Woodall made eight saves and the Tigers held VCU scoreless for the final 53 minutes, but they could not find the back of the cage as the Rams posted a 3-0 victory Sunday at Unitas Stadium.

Woodall was one of seven seniors the team honored before the game on Senior Day. Joining her was Lilly Clark, Patrice Groody, Natalie Hack, Baily Kerr, Taylor Kvilhaug and Morgan Lowry.

How it Happened

• VCU (9-4) scored three goals on its first seven shots in the game's first 17 minutes before Towson held the Rams without a shot or penalty corner over the final 18 minutes.
• After Woodall stopped VCU's first three shots of the game, Spencer Tossone scored just 5:41 into the first half when she scored inside the left post on a pass from Jessica Mays off a penalty corner.
• The Rams struck again seven minutes later when Tossone scored again off a corner, this time assisted by Emily McNamara.
• Less than five minutes after McNamara's first point, she found the back of the cage off a rebound after her initial shot was saved by Woodall.
• Following a timeout by Towson (1-13), the Tigers would have the remaining offensive opportunities over the final 15 minutes.
• Three minutes after the timeout, the Tigers drew their first corner of the game, but could not register a shot.
• Towson drew its second corner just a few minutes later, but a shot by senior Taylor Kvilhaug went wide left before freshman Beira Ho followed with a shot that went wide right.
• The Tigers earned their third corner of the half with five minutes remaining, but could not get a shot off and the game went to the half with VCU holding a 3-0 lead.
• The Rams controlled the action for most of the second half, totaling eight shots and seven penalty corners to just one shot and two corners for Towson.
• Woodall finished with four saves in each half.
• The Tigers registered their lone shot of the second half off of their second penalty corner with under nine minutes remaining, leading to Chessa Kownurko's lone save for VCU.
