Field Hockey Edged by Gwynedd Mercy 2-1

GWYNEDD VALLEY, Pa. - The FDU-Florham field hockey team was topped by Gwynedd Mercy University 2-1 Saturday.

With the setback, the Devils fall to 4-2 on the season, as the Griffins remain undefeated, at 6-0.

Both teams came out of the gates applying a lot of defensive pressure, as the contest remained scoreless throughout the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Devils struck first courtesy of a Haleigh Flukey goal from senior Maggie Sohns. Off a penalty corner, Sohns fed Flukey and the sophomore put a shot past the Griffins goalie to give the visitors the lead.

In the third quarter, the Devils kept attacking the Griffins goalie, as Sohns and senior Jessica Pietracatella both fired off shots that came up short. Heading into the final frame with the lead, the Griffins aimed to tie the score. With four minutes remaining, Gwynedd Mercy got on the board to level the game. With one minute left and the score tied at one-all, the Griffins kept the momentum as they fired off the eventual game-winning goal.

  • With her helper, Sohns now has four assists on the season.
  • Flukey sits at eight goals on the season and leads all the Mid Atlantic Conference- Freedom players.
