Game Highlights
Kean University’s field hockey squad defeated Drew University 6-5 on September 5, 2026, in a match that swung dramatically in the first half before Drew mounted a spirited second‑half comeback.
Ali Stoner was the catalyst for Kean, tallying seven points that included three goals, one assist and a total of 12 shot attempts, though a penalty stroke in the 49th minute slipped wide, denying the team an even larger cushion.
The opening goal came in the second minute when Shannon Conroy converted a pass from Kelseigh Sargent, giving Kean an early lead. Stoner soon rattled off three consecutive goals in the first half, extending the advantage to 5-1 at the break, a surge that was briefly interrupted by a penalty‑stroke conversion from Drew in the 15th minute.
Drew answered in the second half, with three quick goals that trimmed the deficit; back‑to‑back strikes from Ellie Kopec and a third from Emma Kadubec in the fourth quarter sealed a 5-4 scoreline before Conroy’s second goal in the third quarter halted Kean’s run and set the stage for the final drama.
Kean’s goalkeeper Daniella Maresca made seven crucial saves, while the team’s shot volume—12 attempts for Stoner and five for Conroy—underscores the intensity of the contest.
Following the victory, Kean will travel to face Arcadia on Friday, looking to carry the momentum into the next encounter.
