ROSEMONT – Despite a goal and defensive save from junior co-captain Ashley Conti (Little Falls, N.J./Passaic Valley), the Rosemont College field hockey team dropped a conference game to Marywood University 3-1. This loss drops the Ravens to 0-7 overall and 0-2 in the Colonial States Athletic Conference while the Pacers improve to 2-6 and 1-2 respectively.
All three of Marywood’s goals came in the first half with first year Emily Eremo (Factoryville/Lackawanna Trail) scoring the opening goal in the 13th minute of play. Seven minute later, sophomore Dana Sweeney (Sussex, N.J./High Point) scored what would be the game winner by dodging Raven goalkeeper Adriann Demchenko (Philadelphia/George Washington) and pushing the ball swiftly into the back of the cage.
The Pacer’s final goal came in the 26th minute of play when first year Amber Mohrmann (Prompton/Honesdale) drove a shot into the opposite side of the cage.
The Ravens lone goal came in the 45th minute of play when Conti got a deflection off Marywood goalkeeper Jamie Bowman (Cheshire, Conn./Chesire) and quickly pushed the ball in.
