Alderfer Scores First Collegiate Goal in Loss at Northeastern

HAMSTEAD, Mass. – Sunday afternoon the Towson University field hockey team played its second game against a Colonial Athletic Association opponent this season, falling to Northeastern 5-2 on the road.
 
The Tigers fall to 1-9 overall with a 0-2 conference record while the Huskies improve to 3-8, 1-1 CAA.
 
How it Happened
  • Northeastern came out strong in the opening ten minutes, scoring two goals before the nine-minute mark.
  • The Huskies held a 2-0 lead into halftime and scored their third goal of the game just four minutes into the second period.
  • Towson finally cut into the lead with a goal from Katie McNeel, the senior's fifth of the season, assisted by sophomore Beira Ho.
  • The home team responded 66 seconds later with another goal before freshman Angela Connolly scored yet another goal, taking a 5-1 lead.
  • Freshman Gretchen Alderfer scored her first collegiate goal on a rebounded shot attempt from Kerri Thornton and cut the lead with just over a minute remaining in the game.
 
Talking Stats
  • The Tigers finished with just five total shots in the game, all in the second period.
  • Freshman goalkeeper Mackenzie Peacock finished with three saves on the day.
  • Corners have created opportunities for Towson to score all season long, but as Northeastern held more possession time the road team only had three corners in the game. The Huskies had seven.
 
Looking Ahead
Next up the Tigers have a split weekend with a conference game on Friday at William & Mary before traveling to Richmond for a Sunday afternoon matchup.
