No. 9 Field Hockey Falls in Overtime to No. 25 Stevenson, 3-2

Owings Mills, Md. – The No. 9 Stevens Institute of Technology field hockey team fell in overtime on the road Wednesday afternoon to No. 25 Stevenson by a 3-2 score.

HOW IT HAPPENED
The Ducks survived an early pair of penalty corners thanks in large part to a defensive save from Lauren Flynn. Goalkeeper Lily Wierzbicki added a pair of saves for Stevens (9-2) as things remained scoreless through the first period, but that changed quickly early in the second quarter.

First, Molly DiCampli put away a penalty corner initially inserted by Lauren Flynn, with Jess Kopernick adding an assist as well. Less than 30 seconds later, Coco Wallace answered back for Stevenson (11-1), making it 1-1. Off another Stevenson penalty corner, the Ducks blocked a pair of shots five seconds apart, as things remained even heading to the halftime break.

Two minutes into the third, Stevenson went in front and were less than a minute from holding the lead into the fourth when Kopernick put home the equalizer after Mustangs' goalkeeper Jordan Vradenburgh made a pair of saves earlier in the period.

The Ducks generated a corner with 20 seconds left, but both of their potential go-ahead looks – one from Taylor Brooks, one from DiCampli -- were blocked.

Both sides struggled to create opportunities in the final 15 minutes of regulation, as Stevens recorded the only shot of the quarter, DiCampli sending one wide with six minutes left.

In overtime, Emilia Lopes had a shot on-target stopped by Vradenburgh three minutes in and Sophia Cozza missed high two minutes later. Just past seven minutes gone, Stevenson found the back of the cage for the game-winner.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Flynn's defensive save was her fourth of the season and sixth of her career, moving her into a tie for fourth all-time in program history
  • Kopernick's three-point day pushed her season total to 12, marking a third straight 10+ point season
  • Lopes played all 67 minutes, and has played all but nine minutes in the Ducks' 11 contests this year
UP NEXT
The Ducks have nothing but Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Freedom play remaining the rest of the regular season, starting Saturday at 6 PM at Lebanon Valley.
