Box Score

Millersville, Pa. – The Millersville University field hockey team produced its best offensive showing of the season Saturday morning in a 5-2 victory over the Lakers of Mercyhurst College in a PSAC crossover showdown at Chryst Field at Biemsderfer Stadium.

The Marauders (5-8) got on the board early, when sophomore Jessica Cave connected four minutes into the contest.  The Lakers (6-8) replied with a pair of goals 26 seconds apart from leading scorer Emily Warren, but Millersville controlled the contest from that point on, as junior Kristie Testa notched a pair, and sophomore Julia Garber picked up her first career tally, as the Marauders took a 4-2 lead at the half.

Millersville would add another goal in the second half from junior Nicole Rayson, her first as a Marauder, to close out the scoring.

Testa also added an assist, giving her a five-point day and pushing her team-leading point total to 18.

Millersville will be back in action on Tuesday, October 14, when they play host to the No. 2-ranked Bloomsburg Huskies.  Game time is 4 p.m.
