Field hockey slides past Slippery Rock

MILFORD, Pennsylvania The sophomore class led the way again for the American International College field hockey team, as the Yellow Jackets downed Slippery Rock 2-1 in a neutral-site contest on Saturday, September 7.

FAST FACTS:
SCORE:AIC 2, Slippery Rock 1
RECORDS:AIC improves to 2-0, while Slippery Rock opens at 0-1.
LOCATION:Delaware Valley High School, Milford, Pennsylvania

Wynona Shaw: One goal
Sophie Schulpen: Game-winning goal
Lily Watson: One assist
Georgia Barnes: One assist

HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • Early in the second quarter, the Yellow Jackets took a 1-0 lead, as senior midfielder Georgia Barnes set up sophomore back Wynona Shaw for a tally at 16:47.
  • The quarter rolled on for the Yellow Jackets, and two other second-year players connected for a second tally, as forward Lily Watson fed a pass to forward Sophie Schulpen to put AIC ahead 2-0 at 25:10.
  • Kayla Ulrich broke the shutout at 48:50 with a goal to bring Slippery Rock within one, but sophomore Jessica Stone was unbeatable from there, helping her team hold on to a 2-1 win.
DOWN BUT NOT OUT:
  • Thanks to a yellow card and then a red card, AIC played the final 22:53 down at least one player; a late green card meant Slippery Rock had an 11-on-9 advantage on the last two penalty corners of the game that it drew.
  • Stone made three of her four saves in this span; astonishingly, Slippery Rock only had eight shot attempts in that time.
WINNING WAYS:
  • AIC's 2-0 start is its first such opening run since 2016.
  • That stretch included a 2-1 win over Slippery Rock as well.
NEXT UP:
  • The Yellow Jackets have a quick turnaround, as the team opens at home against Molloy College on Sunday, September 8 at 1 p.m.
