Torosian strong, but field hockey falls at No. 8 Pace

PLEASANTVILLE, New York-The American International College field hockey team battled to and beyond the last second but ultimately fell, 1-0, to the No. 8 Pace University Setters in Northeast-10 Conference action at Peter X. Finnerty Field on Wednesday, September 20.

FAST FACTS:
SCORE: AIC 0, No. 8 Pace 1
RECORDS: AIC falls to 0-7 and 0-2 in NE10 play, while Pace improves to 6-0 and 2-0 in conference.
LOCATION: Peter X. Finnerty Field, Pace University, Pleasantville, New York

STATS LEADERS:
AIC:
Katie Lombardozzi (one defensive save)
Alexis Torosian (16 saves on 17 shots-on-goal)
Pace:
Jenna Sanossian (game-winning goal, three shots-on goal)
Lesly Sanchez Alvarez (two saves)

HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • The Setters and Yellow Jackets played a mostly-quiet first half until the very end, when Jenna Sanossian tapped in a cross-netmouth pass with 1:28 to go in the frame.
  • Both teams turned up the pressure in the second half, with five of AIC's six shot attempts and 18 of Pace's 27 coming in that frame; AIC also had four of the five corners the team took, while Pace had eight of the 11.
  • At the very end, AIC drew a corner as time expired, but Chelsea Davis's heavy shot was blocked and cleared by the Setters defense to end the game.
  • Alexis Torosian turned in another strong performance in goal, stopping 15 shots, including all 12 she faced in the second half.
COACH'S CORNER:
  • "We played two strong halves against a tough opponent. The downfall came with a breakdown defensively for a short period of time. Going forward we need to avoid these lapses and create more of an offensive push and execute on our opportunities," said assistant coach Hayley Grimes after the game.
NEXT UP:
  • The Yellow Jackets return to Ronald J. Abdow Field to host the brand-new New Haven Chargers at noon on Saturday, September 23.
  • New Haven is in its first year of having a field hockey program.
