Box Score

Millersville, Pa. - The 10th-ranked Millersville field hockey team put a scare into No. 3 East Stroudsburg Wednesday afternoon at Chryst Field at Biemesderfer Stadium, but the visitors managed to hang on and hand the Marauders a 1-0 defeat.

East Stroudsburg (12-2, 4-1 PSAC East) received a brilliant performance from goalkeeper Maureen Ordnung, who recorded her third shutout of the season and second against the Marauders by stopping all eight shots fired her way.

Ordnung received all the support she needed when Kierstyn DeNardo broke the defensive struggle off an assist from Jessica Frantz at the 26:49 mark.

Millersville (6-7, 2-4 PSAC East) had its chances late, though. The first five shots of the second half came off Millersville's sticks, and the Marauders went on to tally nine shots in the second period including six on goal. Ordnung stopped each of them and even turned away Krista Bupp's penalty stroke four minutes into the second half.

Millersville's final chance for a game-tying goal came with 28 seconds left when it earned a penalty corner. A clear shot did not materialize, sealing the win for the Warriors.

Kristie Testa and freshman Ashley Weber put two shots on goal for the Marauders. Sara Dickinson made three saves, but for the sixth time this season, she was tagged with the loss despite not allowing more than three goals.

Both of East Stroudsburg's wins over Millersville this season came by a 1-0 score, and each of the last three meetings have been decided by the same count. Millersville has scored just one goal in the last four games against the Warriors.

Millersville will look to bounce back on Saturday when they travel to Slippery Rock for PSAC crossover action.
