Hannah King Scores as Field Hockey Drops Decision to Cal

TOWSON, Md. — A late goal from Hannah King was not enough to help the Towson University field hockey team come back to defeat California. The Bears, instead, came out on top with a 4-1 win. 

Goalkeeper Lena Vandam had yet another double-digit effort in net, totaling 12 saves at the end of the contest. Paige Reese and Kasey Bubel also added clutch defensive saves.  

RECORDS 

Towson (0-4) 
California (3-1) 

HOW IT HAPPENED 

  • The two teams traded shots in the beginning of the first quarter but it was Cal who struck first, scoring the first goal of the contest in the ninth minute.  
  • The Bear came out hot in the second 15:00 span, taking five shots and a penalty corner in the first four minutes. Rachel Buttinger capitalized on the sixth shot, scoring to take the 2-0 edge.  
  • To end the first half, the Tigers followed up with four shots of their own and two corners but could not find the back of the net. 
  • In the third, California scored its third goal just under two minutes into action off a corner.  
  • Towson took two shots in the remainder of the 15:00 while Cal took five and two penalty corners.  
  • Vandam had a game-high five saves in both the second and third quarters.  
  • The Bears once again came into the final quarter on the offensive, occupying the Tigers' defensive zone for the majority.  
  • Anne Van Hoof scored her second consecutive goal of the game for Cal off a corner to make the score 4-0.  
  • However, exactly one minute later King tapped in a shot by Hannah McKeon off a corner to cut into California's lead, 4-1.  
  • To end the contest, Towson stayed strong on defense, stopping four shots and a corner. 

BEYOND THE BOX  

  • Vandam's 12 saves matches the second-most she has earned this season. She also had 12 stops against App State.  
  • The graduate student currently leads the Colonial Athletic Association in saves (56) and saves per game (14.0). Vandam is the only goalkeeper in the league to register one, let alone four games with double-figure saves.  
  • Bubel also leads the conference with four defensive saves to average one per contest. Beira Ho (2) and Paige Reese (2) follow closely behind in third and fourth.  
  • King's goal marks the first of her career. Georgia Beachley and McKeon each got an assist on the score. 
  • Freshman Haley Palmer made her first start for the Tigers at attack.  
  • Cal took eight penalty corners and successfully converted on three.  
  • Five of Towson's eight shots were on frame. The Tigers also earned 14 saves to the Bears' four.
