Box Score
Garden City, N.Y. – Earlier this evening, the field hockey squad played host to the #5 Riverhawks of UMass Lowell in a Northeast-10 Conference contest. After falling behind 3-0 at the half, Adelphi was unable to bridge the gap as the visitors added one more goal in the second while holding the Panthers at bay. With the 4-0 loss, the Brown and Gold move to 6-10, 4-3 NE-10 while the Riverhawks advance to 12-2, 7-1 NE-10.
UMass Lowell jumped out to the early lead on a play set up by Sarah Wilcox just three ticks shy of the five minute mark. Wilcox sent in a pass through traffic and hooked up with teammate Rachel McCarthy for the one-time that found the back of the net.
McCarthy then helped her team further their lead by assisting on the next two goals before each side split for intermission. Vanessa Kent and Jenna Freitas were each credited with the scores and forced Adelphi to play the second half down 3-0.
The duo of McCarthy and Wilcox struck again at the 63:07 mark for the game's fourth goal.
