Marauders Impressive in Home Opener

Box Score
Millersville, Pa.- The Millersville field hockey team defeated C.W. Post 4-0 in its home opener Saturday at Chryst Field at Biemesderfer Stadium, improving its record to 3-2 and marking its best start since 1998.

The Marauders, who evened their PSAC East record to 1-1, took control of the game quickly with an unassisted goal by junior Julia Garber nine minutes into action. Senior Krista Bupp found the back of the cage two minutes later off a corner pass from senior Kristie Testa to advance Millersville 2-0.

It didn't take long for the Marauders to score again as junior Emily Woodland found Ashley Webber off a corner, taking the Marauders into halftime leading by three.

Pioneer goalkeeper Cortney Colern tallied eight saves on the day, but Millersville's offense continued to work. They recorded 23 shots throughout the game and out-cornered the Pioneers (0-3, 0-3 PSAC East) 19-5, two of which led to goals.

The Pioneers tallied an impressive 17 shots on the day, but couldn't seem to get past sophomore goalkeeper Sara Dickinson who had 10 saves for her second shutout of the season.

With less than seven minutes left to play Testa scored, giving Woodland her second assist of the game.

The Marauders return to action tomorrow for their third conference match-up in a row, as they host Mansfield at 1 p.m.
