LLOYD PACES SAINTS
TO 5-1 FIELD HOCKEY VICTORY OVER OSWEGO The Saints, now 2-1 on the season, scored off four penalty corners and received goals from five different players in the game. Abi Copeland and Nicola Reid had a goal and an assist each while Liz Allison and Jenny Heffler added goals and Tiffany Elsenbeck had an assist. The Saints jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first half as Lloyd scored from Elsenbeck on an up-field rush 12:39 into the game and Reid made it 2-0 with the game 28:08 old when she converted from Copeland off a penalty corner. It went to 3-0 when Heffler redirected a pass from Ali Mattison past Oswego goalie Ashley Perkins with Reid also assisting off a penalty corner just 1:21 later. St. Lawrence made it a 4-0 game when Allison scored her first of the year off a rebound put-back from Lloyd following a penalty corne 4:28 into the second half, but Oswego cashed in after a penalty corner of its own as Laura Benjamin scored her first of the year in a scramble with 15:30 to play in the game. Copeland, who missed all of last season while recovering from knee surgery, scored her first collegiate goal on a hard shot from the top of the circle from Lloyd off a penalty corner with 1:42 to play to complete the scoring. "We did a good job on the penalty corners and had some other great chances that we either just missed or their goalie stopped," said Saint coach Fran Grembowicz. "We are making progress and seeing a lot of good things out there." Perkins, who made several outstanding saves in the game, finished with 11 for the afternoon while Saint goalie Amelia Gomez had four saves before giving way to Sarah Rohrs who played the last 6:30 without seeing a shot. St. Lawrence outshot Oswego 25-7 and had a 16-5 edge in penalty corners. The Saints will play
Manhattanville and Susquehanna at William Smith next Saturday and
Sunday.
