POMONA, N.J. (September 19, 2007) – Five different players on the Stevens Institute of Technology field hockey team scored goals on Wednesday afternoon as the Ducks defeated the Ospreys of Richard Stockton College by a final score of 6-1.

The Ducks (5-2), who owned a 15-6 shot advantage on the afternoon, reached the scoreboard first in the fourth-minute when freshman forward Lauren Griggs placed a ball into the back of the cage off a pass from sophomore forward Courtney Geddis. Ten minutes later, Stevens struck again as freshman midfielder Karen Federico notched her first collegiate score off a feed from Geddis.

Then, in the 26th-minute, junior midfielder Allison Shields gave the Ducks a 3-0 lead as she pushed a ball past Ospreys' freshman goaltender Debi O'Kane (Cologne, N.J.). Junior midfielder Kerri Polidore was credited with the assist. Soon after, freshman forward Allison Basile found the back of the net for her first collegiate tally.

In the 46th-minute, Griggs collected her second goal of the match while sophomore forward Kara Borzillo  was tabbed with the assist. Later on, Borzillo earned a score off a pass from senior forward Beth Rychcik. Richard Stockton capped off the scoring in the 63rd-minute on an unassisted goal by sophomore defender Katie Mattsson (Brick, N.J.).

O'Kane stopped a game-high five shots for the Ospreys (1-6), while Ducks' keepers Stephanie Smith and Ellyn Griggs combined to make two saves.
