Game Stats -- October 17, 2001
Harrisonburg, Va. -- American field hockey lost, 4-1, today to former Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) foe James Madison. Freshman newcomer Hope Mandel (Wayne, N.J./Wayne Valley H.S.) scored the lone goal for the Eagles, her first collegiate goal.
The game stood scoreless at halftime after the Eagles outshot the Dukes 7-2 in the first period. JMU answered with a goal early in the second when Traci Forchetti scored off an assist from Carrie Phillips. The Dukes notched another point with 15:39 remaining in the game as Veerle Goudswaard knocked in a pass from Forchetti.
American answered when Mandel scored off an assist from junior Magdalena Aguilar (Buenos Aires, Argentina/St. Catherine's Moorlands) at the 20:45 minute mark, but the Dukes stormed back as Dana Weaver scored JMU's last two goals late in the period (Goudswaard had both assists).
American sophomore goaltender Laura Miller had three total saves compared to five by JMU goalkeeper Kiernan Raffo.
