Box Score

The Griffin field hockey team hit the road for the first time this season on Tuesday evening and the trip was a successful one.  SHU made the short trip to Indiana, PA to battle the Crimson Hawks and were able to knock off #6 IUP by the score of 3-0.  Seton Hill improves to 1-2 on the season. 

The first half got off to a slow start with not much offense coming from either team.  SHU registered 4 shots in the first half compared to 3 for the Crimson Hawks.  The Griffins were able to get on the scoreboard late in the first half when they were awarded a penalty stroke.  Lauren Mariano drilled home the stroke to give the Griffins a 1-0 lead just 59 seconds before the half.

Ashley Reid increased the lead to 2-0 just over 4 minutes into the second half.  Reid scored from the left side off a corner.  Melayna Currie assisted on the goal.  Alisha Bell closed out the scoring in the 51st minute on a scramble in front of the net.  Natasha Nichols assisted on the Bell goal.  Autumn Reid recorded 5 saves in net to earn her first shutout of the season.

Seton Hill will look to make it two in a row when they host Millersville on Saturday afternoon.
