CHAMBERS
ENDS FIELD HOCKEY'S NCAA TOURNAMENT RUN (Nov. 3) - Danae
Chambers scored at the 7:23 mark in the first overtime to give Messiah's field
hockey team a 2-1 win over St. Lawrence University in the NCAA Regional Final
held at Messiah College on Saturday afternoon. Chambers set up
the play on a 2-on-1 break. She ran down the right side of the field, fed Allison
Harris, who found Chambers at the right post to advance the Falcons to the Final
Four held at Springfield College next weekend. "(Our players) had their hearts
set on that Final Four," said Saints head coach Fran Grembowicz. "Coming so close
makes this a little tough to swallow, but we're proud of what we've done this
year." And proud they should be. The Saints finish with a 13-3
record, the best in the history of the program. The team won a second round NCAA
tournament game 2-1 in a double overtime marathon against Mary Washington yesterday.
That double overtime victory left the Saints a little tired early
on in Saturday's game, as Messiah took a 1-0 lead early and controlled the pace
of play for the beginning of the first half. "It was tough to
get our legs back," Grembowicz said. "But we started to take some things away
from them later in the first half. I think we dug as deep as we could have." The
Falcons took the 1-0 lead on a penalty corner when Harris scored off a pass from
Alison Reber, beating St. Lawrence goalie Amelia Gomez on the left side. It was
the last time Messiah would beat Gomez for over 70 minutes, as the sophomore made
12 saves in the game. Her most impressive stretch came in the second half. Messiah
took a penalty corner and threw four shots on the Saint net in a span of ten seconds,
but Gomez knocked each one safely away from the net. The Saints
tied the game late in the first half on a penalty corner of their own. After the
initial shot by the Saints offense, the ball bounced around the circle, as no
one was able to control it. It finally squirted to Lauren Greene at the right
side of the net, where she was able to tie it for the Saints. "We
kept our composure after they scored early and were able to come back and make
it a great game," Grembowicz said. "This is the best record we've ever had, and
we're proud of what we've accomplished." Messiah had a number
of chances to take leads in the second half, but was denied by Gomez and the rest
of the Saints defense. The Falcons had 22 penalty corners, including 13 in the
second half. The Saints had just seven penalty corners in the game. Mary
Amidon played another solid game defensively for the Saints, making two defensive
saves. Lindsay Wormwood also made a defensive save from the turf for the Saints
during a Messiah penalty corner. The Saints will return 15 of
their 18 players next year, but the three seniors will be tough loses for the
Saints. Stacy Turner, this year's team leader in points, last year's NCAA scoring
leader and a First Team All America Selection, Wormwood, the Saints second leading
scorer this season, and Beth Lomanto, who is a big factor defensively for the
Saints will all graduate this spring. SAINT
FIELD HOCKEY TEAM ADVANCES IN DOUBLE OVERTIME THRILLER GRANTHAM,
PA, (Nov. 2) - Jenny Heffler scored on a two-on-one break with 1:48 remaining
in the second overtime to lead the St. Lawrence University field hockey team
to a 2-1 win over Mary Washington College in the second round of the NCAA tournament
at Messiah College on Friday afternoon. Stacy Turner, who let a clear
through to Heffler, set up the goal. Turner trailed on the play, while Heffler
rushed towards the circle with the ball. She dropped the ball back to Turner,
who fired it into Heffler who beat Mary Washington goalie Meredith McDonald low
for the game winner. "Jenny grabbed it and gave me a back pass,"
said Turner, who scored the first St. Lawrence goal to tie the game with less
than ten minutes remaining in regulation. "I fed it through and she put it strong
through the goalie." The game was tight throughout, though the
Saints had 19 shots on goal to the Eagles 11. After the Eagles took a 1-0 lead
early in the second half, St. Lawrence controlled the pace of play, especially
in the overtime periods when the teams play 7-on-7. "Both teams
had some really good chances to score," said Saints coach Fran Grembowicz. "We're
set up as a good 7-on-7 team. But their goalkeeper did a great job. We felt like
it was just a matter of time before somebody broke through." Turner
had to leave the game about halfway through the first overtime when she fell to
the turf after a collision with a Mary Washington player. Both players were attempting
to control a loose ball. "I jammed my knee pretty hard on the turf," Turner said.
"It might be a little sore and swollen tomorrow, but I should be alright to play."
Grembowicz came out to visit her leading scorer immediately.
"That's a coaches nightmare," Grembowicz said. "When she started screaming, I
had a few moments when I had to take some deep breaths." Turner, last year's NCAA
scoring champion and a First Team All-America, has 18 goals and 7 assists on the
season. Her 18th goal came with less than ten minutes remaining in the second
half. Nicola Reid, who played a huge game defensively for the
Saints, took a free hit just outside the circle. The ball hopped twice before
Turner redirected it into the net to tie the game and send it into overtime.
"I'm proud of the way we came back after going down by one," Grembowicz said.
"We didn't hang our heads and just kept playing our game." Reid
and Mary Amidon kept to the defensive game plan, each turning in huge performances
on their own side of the field. Both players broke up a number of scoring opportunities
by intercepting passes or stealing the ball away from Eagle players. Amidon also
had a defensive save for the Saints. Mary Washington took a 1-0
lead about ten minutes into the second half when Shannon Nobile deflected a shot
by Joanna Duggan past St. Lawrence goalie Amelia Gomez. Gomez made ten saves in
the game, while McDonald made 17. The Saints, now 13-2 on the
season, will play Messiah in the third round on Saturday at 1 p.m. Messiah defeated
Gettysburg 5-1 in the other second round game. The winner will advance to the
Final Four held at Springfield College next weekend. SAINTS

Lawrence is making its fourth NCAA appearance and first since 1994. The Saints
have an all-time record of 3-4 in NCAA tournament play and finished fourth in
the 1989 tournament, losing to Cortland 3-2 in triple overtime on penalty strokes
in the third place game. The Saints are one of three teams from
the Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association and among four New York State teams
to make the field. UCAA Champion William Smith (13-3), a 2-1 winner over the Saints,
will host a regional on Saturday and Sunday while Skidmore (13-2) the only other
team to beat St. Lawrence this season, will play in that regional. The Saints
and Skidmore earned "Pool C" berths for the tournament, the only two
available to teams from conferences with automatic qualifiers which were not conference
champions. A total of 11 teams in the field were automatic and three others were
independents or members of conferences which do not have automatic qualifying.
Cortland State, 15-2, a team the Saints beat in overtime, is the other New York
State team in the field and will play in a regional at Williams College on Saturday.
SAINTS FALL TO SEVENTH RANKED

Jenny Hefler scored in the first half to tie the game at 1-1 for
St. Lawrence. Erin Lloyd scored about halfway through the second half for the
Saints. The Saints finish the regular season in third place in

SCORES TWICE, SAINTS BEAT UNION Oct. 19: Lauren Greene
scored two goal off assists from Erin Lloyd to lead the St. Lawrence University
field hockey team to a 2-0 win over Union in Schenectady, NY, on Friday afternoon.
Even though Greene's goal came in different halves, less than
four minutes of game-time had actually passed between the two goals, which were
the sixth and seventh of the season for Greene and make her the third-leading
scorer for St. Lawrence this fall. The Saints played a strong
game defensively, allowing just three shots on goal, all of which Amelia Gomez
stopped to record her third complete shutout of the season. The
Saints record improves to 12-1, the best start ever for a field hockey team at
St. Lawrence. The team plays their final game of the regular season on Saturday
at Skidmore. St. Lawrence is currently ranked ninth nationally. SAINTS

overall and 3-1 in the conference with a 2 p.m. game against UCAA rival Rochester
on tap Saturday afternoon. The Herons got an early goal from Sheila

with an assist from Carrie Cicciarelli with 6:37 gone in the game. William Smith's
defense then frustrated the high-scoring Saint attack through much of the first
half and Silverio padded the lead with her goal late in the half. The
Saints turned up the offensive pressure in the second half and Lauren Greene cut
the lead to 2-1 with her fourth goal of the year from Nicola Reid 6:45 into the
second half. The Saints, who were outshot 8-3 in the first half,

OVERTIME GOAL LIFTS SAINTS TO 4-3 UPSET OF 2ND-RANKED CORTLAND
Oct. 2: Senior All America Stacy Turner plucked a pass out of the air from sophomore
Jen Heffler and directed the ball past Cortland State goaltender Becky Gillette
1:22 into overtime Tuesday afternoon to give St. Lawrence a 4-3 field hockey victory
over the Red Dragons, who went into the game ranked second in the country. The
game was a classic battle between two unbeaten teams. Cortland went into the game
10-0 and had outscored its opposition 42-2. The Red Dragons moved from fourth
to second in the National Coaches Poll released Tuesday morning and were ranked
first in the country in scoring defense and fifth in offense. The Saints, ranked
12th in the latest poll and ranked sixth nationally in offense, carried a 14-game
unbeaten streak into the game and improved to 8-0 this season with their third
overtime win of the year. It was the first time in Saint field
hockey history that St. Lawrence has beaten Cortland. According to records at
both sports information offices, Cortland was 18-0-3 against the Saints in 21
previous meetings since 1977 and while there were a number of one-goal and overtime
games, the Saints had never come out on top. The two teams played a triple overtime
game in the 1989 NCAA third place game with Cortland eventually winning 3-2 on
penalty strokes after the two teams were deadlocked at 2-2 through the three extra
periods. The Saints grabbed an early lead on junior Lauren Greene's
penalty stroke with 24 minutes to go in the first half, but had to battle from
behind twice to pull out the victory. Alana LaMorte tied the game with her tenth
goal of the season with 13:52 to go in the first half and Ashley Ostrander gave
Cortland a 2-1 lead with 3:15 to go in the first half from Julie Gentner off a
penalty corner. The Saints tied it at 2-2 7:13 into the second
half when Heffler scored her seventh of the year from Turner with a chip shot
over a sprawled Gillette with Cortland a player down due to a yellow card, but
Cortland regained the lead on Stacy Russell's seventh of the season off a penalty
corner from Kim Anthony with 12:25 to go in regulation. St. Lawrence tied it again
just 55 seconds later when Turner scored her 12th of the season on a rocket along
the ground off a penalty corner which beat Gillette cleanly. Greene and Lindsay
Wormwood assisted on the penalty corner. St. Lawrence then turned
around an early Cortland rush in the opening minute of overtime and Heffler sent
a pass to Turner who redirected it past Gillette to give the Saints the win with
1:22 gone in the extra session. The Saints outshot Cortland 30-18
and had seven penalty corners while the Red Dragons had 11. Cortland also had
three defensive saves in the game and got a strong game from Bonnie Kenna defensively.
Gillette finished with 16 saves for Cortland while Saint sophomore Amelia Gomez
made 14 saves and the Saint defense came through with five defensive saves to
back her up. St. Lawrence will continue a trial by fire when it
hosts William Smith, currently ranked fifth nationally, in a 4 p.m. game Friday.
