Saint Francis University's field hockey squad edged Lycoming College 2-1 on Saturday afternoon, with Julia Barto's decisive strike in the 57th minute providing the Red Wolves' only goal of the match and helping secure the narrow victory.
The contest featured a flurry of offensive attempts, as Hannah Capo, Macy Schultz and Avery Bradburn each registered three shots, while Brenna Snyder, Ryan Engleman and T Ciaccia managed a single shot on goal each, reflecting the intensity of play throughout the 90 minutes.
Between the attacks, Saint Francis goalkeeper Madison Morrison demonstrated composure, collecting four saves to preserve the narrow advantage and deny Lycoming any equalizer.
Senior Day Preview
The Red Wolves will turn their attention to Monday, September 7, when they host Concordia University of Wisconsin in a senior tribute game that will honor the graduating players and test the team's momentum heading into the latter part of the season.
With the victory still fresh, the squad looks to build on the defensive solidity shown by Morrison and the offensive spark provided by Barto, aiming to finish the week on a high note before the senior ceremony.
