Eagles move to 7-8 heading into their final game of the season
Game Stats -- October 28, 2001
Princeton, N.J. -- American field hockey played solidly to hold onto their lead and win, 3-2, at Cornell this afternoon. Junior Magdalena Aguilar (Buenos Aires, Argentina/St. Catherine's Moorlands), senior Elizabeth Augustine (Hummelstown, Pa./Lower Dauphin) and sophomore Karlijn Schellens (Valkenswaard, Netherlands/Conestoga (Pa.)) each scored for the Eagles in the victory.
Cornell got on the board first less than fifteen seconds into the game but American responded at 18:33 when Aguilar sent a shot inside the circle past the keeper on an assist from Schellens.
American scored again right before the half at 34:33 when Augustine finished off an extended Eagles' offensive attack. Freshman Hope Mandel (Wayne, N.J./Wayne Valley) and sophomore Melissa Snyder (Gathersburg, Md./QUince Orchard) each earned an assist on the second goal.
In the second period, Cornell scored with less than twenty minutes left in the game, but Aguilar soon created a scoring opportunity for her team on a penalty stroke. Schellens knocked in the stroke to earn the game-winner and the Eagles came away with a defeat of Cornell.
With the victory, American moves to 7-8-0 overall, 4-2-0 while playing in the Patriot League. The Eagles have clinched a spot in the Patriot League Tournament, which begins next Saturday, Nov. 3 at the highest seed. They play in their final league match and last game of the season on Tuesday, Oct. 30, at Lafayette at 4:00 p.m.
