Stout Defense Carries Towson Field Hockey over Bellarmine for Third Straight Win

TOWSON, Md. – The Towson University field hockey team defeated Bellarmine 2-1 Sunday afternoon at Trager Stadium in Louisville, Ky.
 
Sarah Hatfield picked up her fourth goal of the season, unassisted off her own rebounded shot. Annie Keele picked up the second collegiate goal of her career, assisted by Gianna Antone.
