RADNOR, Pa.  (September 24, 2014) – Sophomore Taylor Welch (Ringwood, N.J.) and freshman Victoria Alvarez (Pine Beach, N.J.) tallied goals, but the Stevens Institute of Technology field hockey team fell by a score of 6-2 Wednesday afternoon at Cabrini College.
 
The Ducks drop to 4-5 on the season in the loss, while Cabrini improves to 4-3 with the win.
 
After 15-plus minutes of scoreless hockey to start the contest, Cabrini was able to tally four times over the final 19:58 of the first half to take control of the contest.
 
Junior Kerry Anne Farrell (Drexel Hill, Pa.) scored goals one, three and four for the Cavaliers as the hosts ended the first half with a 13-0 margin in shots – with 12 being put on goal. Stevens' goal Emily Stukenborg (Stockholm, N.J.) was able to make eight stops in the first period and 13 for the game but it was not enough for the Ducks.
 
Stevens came out in the second half with strong energy, getting on the board when junior Angela Bauroth (Rockville, Md.) assisted Welch's fifth goal of the season.
 
Cabrini was able to answer when Farrell tallied her fourth of the game, but Alvarez recorded her eighth of the year to pull Stevens back within three with 20:22 on the clock. The Cavaliers, however, came right back and tallied less than three minutes later for the final margin of 6-2.
 
Cabrini ended the matchup with a 23-8 lead in shots and a 9-6 margin in penalty corners.
 
The Ducks (4-5 overall, 1-0 Empire 8) will return to action when they visit Empire 8 rival Washington and Jefferson College on Saturday at 1 p.m. Check www.stevensducks.com for links to follow the action live.
