Field Hockey falls to No. 9 Montclair State

HOBOKEN, N.J. (September 12, 2018)  – Amber Haslett's first half goal proved to be the different as the Stevens Institute of Technology field hockey team fell to No. 9 Montclair State University 2-0 Wednesday night at the DeBaun Athletic Complex. 

Alex Constantine added a goal in 62nd minute for the Red Hawks, who extended their season-opening winning streak to five. 

Freshman goalkeeper Emily Franco made four saves for the Ducks, who saw their two-game winning streak come to an end.

Turning Point
  • Montclair State earned six penalty corners in the first half, but record the first goal of the game on its third corner attempt. Kelly Watson took the penalty corner and quickly fed Cimilluca. Cimilluca drew her defender closer before pushing the ball to Haslett, who unleashed a right-handed blast from just inside the top of the circle. The shot flew past everyone inside the arc before striking the back of the cage for her second goal of the year.

Inside the Numbers
  • On a wet night in Hoboken, Montclair State held a 16-5 edge in shots, including a 5-3 edge in shots on goal. 
  • The Red Hawks outearned Stevens in penalty corners 10-5.
  • Three of Franco's four saves came on a spectacular sequence in the 65th minute. Three Red Hawks took turns from point-blank range, but the West Chester, Pennsylvania stood tall in net, using her pads to keep the shots from finding their mark.
  • Sophomore Brynn Froehlich led Stevens with two shots. Haslett had a game-high three to lead Montclair.

From the Sidelines
  • "I continue to be impressed with the way the team is coming together and we are definitely working on continuing to do the little things each game in order for us to be successful. The team brought really good energy tonight and played well against a very good Montclair State team. We got to a lot of 50-50 balls, were able to be aggressive in spots and created chances. I look forward to opening our conference schedule this weekend against Washington & Jefferson."

Up Next
  • The Ducks open up Empire 8 Conference play Saturday at Washington and Jefferson College.
  • Stevens fell to the Presidents last season but hold a 12-5 record in the all-time series.
