SPRINGFIELD, Massachusetts - The American International College field hockey team earned a 2-1 win over Molloy University in the Northeast-10 Conference opener for the Yellow Jackets on Saturday, September 24.
AIC improves to 2-4 with a 1-0 NE10 mark in 2022.
The Yellow Jacets jumped to a 1-0 lead just 6:33 in on a cross pass from the right side of the circle by Logan Shunney that Na'Bree Wallace tapped through the goalkeeper for her second of the year at 6:33.
In the second, the Lions tied the game; Alexa Denis put in a rebound at 9:10 from just past the right post.
In the third, the deciding tally was scored by the Yellow Jackets; off a foul, Shunney sent a pass up the right side to Morgan Martellio, and her shot from a tough angle fooled the goalkeeper and went in for her second of the season at 3:25 of the period.
From there, AIC held off the Lions; Taylor Wildes made three saves to keep them off the board for the rest of the game and earn the win.
