Huge Second Half Gives Eastern 6-2 Win Over FDU

Box Score

ST. DAVIDS, PA - With the game tied at 2-2 early in the second half, Eastern erupted for four straight goals to beat the College at Florham Devils by a score of 6-2 in Freedom Conference action on Saturday afternoon.

With the loss, the Devils dropped to 8-9 (4-2 Freedom) while the Eagles improved to 12-5 (5-1 Freedom).  The Devils still control their own fate for a bid to the upcoming Freedom Conference Tournament, if they beat Manhattanville on Tuesday night they will wrap up the third seed.

Eastern got on the board first just three minutes into the game before making it 2-0 at the 17:57 mark.  The Devils dug in though and made it 2-1 five minutes later when senior midfielder Kelsey Kistle converted a pass from junior forward Lanie Andrews.  The game remained 2-1 through the remainder of the first half but with 6:16 gone by in the second half, sophomore midfielder Rebecca Bruns tied the game at 2-2 when she knocked home a rebound.  That's when the Eagles took over though, ripping off four consecutive goals to earn the 6-2 victory.

Freshman goalkeeper Amy Defnet suffered the loss, making 13 saves in 49:56 of action.

The Devils return to action on Tuesday, October 23, 2012, at home against Manhattanville beginning at 7 pm.
