On Sunday, Georgetown University’s field hockey squad traveled to face Lock Haven and emerged with a commanding 6-0 shutout, a result that underscores the team’s resurgence after a slow start to the season.
Game Highlights
The win not only lifted the Hoyas’ ledger to 2-2 but also dropped Lock Haven’s record to 1-2, highlighting the shifting balance in this early-season matchup.
With six goals, the game represented the most prolific offensive showing for Georgetown since a 9-1 triumph over Queens (N.C.) back in 2022, signaling a return to form for the program.
At the heart of the attack was Kate McManaman, who contributed two goals and added two assists, demonstrating her playmaking prowess and scoring touch.
Supporting McManaman, Caroline Suko, Riley Fitzgerald, Collen Maloney and Izzy Lee each found the net once, while Elena Perez Alejandro and Laney Reiser supplied key assists that helped shape the offensive flow.
Georgetown’s defensive unit was equally impressive, surrendering only a single shot on goal throughout the contest, a testament to disciplined positioning and teamwork.
In goal, Alex Duff recorded a save, preserving the clean sheet, while sophomore keeper Sophia Owens made a crucial stop before allowing the final tally in the closing minutes.
Lock Haven’s goaltender Quinty van Luijk was busy, making 10 saves over 54 minutes, yet the relentless pressure ultimately proved too much to handle.
Looking ahead, the Hoyas are slated to take on Richmond this Friday, a matchup that will test whether the momentum built in Sunday’s victory can be sustained.
