Box Score PINE VALLEY, N.Y. (October 28, 2012) – Sophomore Jillian Fiebel (Roxbury, N.J.) scored twice and junior Grace Ridge (Moorestown, N.J.) tallied once in addition to making a defensive save as the Stevens Institute of Technology field hockey team rolled to a 3-0 win at Elmira College Sunday afternoon. With the win, the Ducks moved to 12-6 overall and recorded their third perfect conference regular season in the last five years (7-0).
 
Stevens got on the board in the 39th minute when Ridge and the Ducks capitalized on a penalty corner. Ridge took an insert from junior Marguerite Chavez (Oceanport, N.J.) and hammered home her third score of the year.
 
Stevens pushed the margin to 2-0 2:44 later when junior Megan Traub (Berkeley Heights, N.J.) corralled a rebound and tapped to Fiebel in front for the score. The insurance came in the 55th minute when a Traub shot bounced to Fiebel who controlled and put it in for her eight marker of the season.
 
Fiebel ended with a pair of scores while Traub had two assists – her second and third of the season. Chavez's helper was her fifth of the year and team-high 31st point.
 
Senior Kaitlin McClymont (Corpus Christi, Texas) tallied the second shutout of her field hockey career, making two saves on the day.
 
Stevens ended with a 29-5 edge in shots and a 13-11 margin in penalty corners. Junior goalie Lauren Thomas (Marshfield, Mass.) made 18 saves for Elmira in the loss.
