Loughran Leads Shutout of Griffins

Box Score GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA – The FDU-Florham field hockey team picked up its fourth win of the season on Wednesday night, blanking the Gwynedd Mercy Griffins 2-0.

Tess Loughran (Newton, N.J./Newton) was once again outstanding in net for the Devils and totaled six saves in the shutout.  The shutout was the senior goalkeeper's second of the season.

The Devils (4-4) scored two first half goals and Loughran made them stand up, as FDU handed Gwynedd Mercy (4-4) their first home loss of 2013.

Lanie Andrews (Sayreville, N.J./Sayreville) delivered the Devils first goal in the 12th minute by sneaking a shot inside the crease.

Ten minutes later, Erin O'Connell (Linwood, N.J./Mainland) deflected an assist from Nicole Hall (Collingswood, N.J./Collingswood), netting the Devils second goal.

The score for the freshman O'Connell was the first of her young and promising collegiate career.

Andrews' strike was her team-leading seventh. She has now scored in five of the Devils eight contests this season.

Up next for the Devils:
FDU takes on Kean University next Tuesday, October 1st in Union, N.J. with face-off scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
