WALTHAM, Mass. – The American International College field hockey team scored twice in a span of 2:50 in the later stages of the second half to record a 2-1 Northeast-10 victory at Bentley University Saturday afternoon. Senior forward Rhonwen Peters (Aquashicola, Pa.) scored the difference maker with 6:50 to go in the game.

Sophomore forward Beth Maguire (Medfield, Mass.) broke up the shutout bid when she redirected a shot from junior midfielder Tori Bergantino (Waltham, Mass.) into the cage with 4:46 left on the clock.

Junior goalie Kim Steiner (Little, Falls, N.Y.) registered five saves, all in the second half, to post her school-record 10th win between the pipes this season. Sophomore goalie Julia Powell (Southbury, Conn.) had three stops in taking the loss.
