Towson Field Hockey Knocks Off Previously Undefeated Ohio 4-1

Towson, Md. – The Towson University field hockey team scored four unanswered goals to knock off previously undefeated Ohio University 4-1 Sunday afternoon at the TU Field Hockey Complex.
 
Georgia Beachley, Mackenzie Tillman, Hannah McKeon and Sarah Hatfield scored goals for the Tigers, while Samantha Aljets tied a career-high with two assists.
 
Records: 
  • Towson – 2-4
  • Ohio – 3-1
How it Happened: 
  • Late in the first quarter, sophomore defender Madisyn Howard made a terrific save on the doorstep to deny Ohio a goal.
  • Trailing 1-0 a little over one minute into the second quarter, Beachley tied things up. She gathered up a loose ball in the circle and beat Bobcats goalkeeper Nele Graner.
  • Five minutes later, Tillman fired a shot from the right wing that beat the keeper inside the left post for her first goal of the season.
  • In the third quarter, Towson converted a picture-perfect corner. Hedwig Veldhuizen inserted the ball to McKeon, who executed a give and go with Aljets to give the Tigers a 3-1 advantage.
  • About four minutes into the fourth quarter, the home team added an insurance goal. Aljets found McKeon who one timed it to Hatfield in front of the goal. The junior found the back of the net.
Inside the Numbers: 
  • The Tigers are now 2-1 at home this season. E.A. Jackson's squad plays six of the next eight games at the TU Field Hockey complex, including five straight to begin October.
  • The last time Towson scored four goals in regulation was in a 4-1 victory over LIU on Sept. 9, 2018.
  • Towson took a season-high 14 shots with 10 of them on goal.
  • Aljets also had two assists against La Salle as a freshman in 2019.
  • The 2022 team features six seniors who have been fixtures in the lineup since arriving on campus in September 2019. After six games this season, the six have combined to start 199 games. Beachley and McKeon have each started 47 games while Aljets and Tillman have 31 career starts. Hannah King (22 starts) and Gianna Antone (21) have also seen significant playing time.
  • Beachley has a team-high four goals this season and now has 18 career tallies, which ranks in the Top 10 in program history. She is currently in 9th place trailing Christina Boarman (46), Julie Lambi (44), Ashley Bacon (27), Kajee Murangi (27), Lisa McCullen (26), Katie DeFilippo (25), Lauren Volk (21) and Joann Engestrom (19).
