The Georgetown University women's field hockey team is set to begin a weekend of road contests, starting with a Friday showdown at Towson and concluding Sunday against Lock Haven.
Season Overview
After a 1-1 start to the 2026 campaign, the Hoyas have already tasted victory over Davidson and suffered a narrow loss to App State, a pattern that reflects both their offensive spark and defensive resilience.
Sophomore forward Adelae Chierici was the decisive factor in the win over Davidson, netting the game‑winning goal, while freshman Tatum Johnson recorded her first career goal. Midfielders Izzy Lee and Elena Perez Alejandro contributed two assists each, and defenseman Kate McManaman found the back of the net in the App State setback, assisted by Kaitlin Brice. In goal, Alex Duff made 12 saves, including five in overtime, maintaining a 1.34 goals‑against average and a .813 save percentage.
Opponent Profiles
Towson, still winless at 0-2, has endured heavy defeats, including a 4-0 loss to Davidson, and relies on freshman goalkeeper Riley Redding, whose 2.63 goals‑against average and .545 save rate highlight the team's early challenges.
Lock Haven, conversely, posted a 1-1 record last season, highlighted by a 5-2 triumph over Mercyhurst in which Maddie Friend scored three goals and added two assists, and Melanie Beall contributed two goals. The Bisons also saw strong goaltending from Quinty van Luijk during a tough outing against Penn State.
Georgetown holds a favorable historical edge, having shut out Towson 2-0 and defeated Lock Haven 4-1 in the previous year, with contributions from Ellie Johnson, Elizabeth Rossotti, Ella Fahey, Sydney Yodh, Katherine Malloy, Riley Fitzgerald, Lily Saal and Anna Gill. The Hoyas now travel to Virginia for matches against Richmond and William & Mary, continuing a road schedule that tests their depth and consistency.
