Garden City, NY - The No. 7 Adelphi University field hockey program picked up their second Northeast-10 Conference win Saturday afternoon after defeating American International College 2-1. The Brown and Gold rolls to 7-2 overall and 2-0 in the conference as the Yellow Jackets fall to 4-5 on the year and 0-2 in league play. 

Rachel Colvin scored both goals for the Panthers giving her three for the year. Molly Cuevas picked up the first assist for 10 on the year and Mary Plotas grabbed the second, giving her four this season. Kelly Serrao had four saves in the win as the Adelphi defense held the Yellow Jackets to just five shots the entire game. 

Colvin lit the scoreboard up for the Brown and Gold just three and a half minutes into the game off a pass from Cuevas following a corner. The Black and Gold's Kaylin Harbin tied the game ten minutes into the second half after being granted a penalty stroke. Colvin closed the game with a second shot off a pass from Plotas just seven minutes later.
