The Ohio University women's field hockey team secured a 3‑2 victory over Queens in Charlotte, North Carolina, extending their early‑season win streak to two games and moving their record above the .500 mark for the first time this year.
A Late Surge Secures Victory
Queens opened the scoring with a goal from Delfina Gonzalez, but Ohio answered swiftly when Liv Rainwater equalized in the second quarter, followed by a second goal from Tori Cisney that gave the Bobcats a lead. A final, dramatic strike by Cisney in the closing minutes sealed the 3‑2 result, capping a comeback that turned a subpar start into a triumphant finish.
Statistically, Queens held a substantial advantage in penalty corners, recording nine compared to Ohio’s four, yet the Bobcats outshot their opponents 12‑6 and committed fewer fouls in the opening period despite conceding the first goal. The third quarter was largely goalless, with each team managing only a handful of shots, underscoring a period of defensive resilience.
Looking ahead, the Bobcats are slated to travel to Winston‑Salem to face seventh‑ranked Wake Forest, a matchup that promises to further test their rising momentum as the season progresses.
