Field Hockey Earns 4-1 Victory over Wells
October 17th, 2007
AURORA, NY - Second year forward
Deanna Henson ’10 (Carmel, NY --
Carmel) earned her first career hat trick (3 goals) to
help lead the Soaring Eagles (3-9) to a 4-1 victory over the
Express of Wells College (2-12) Wednesday afternoon.
The Purple and Gold recorded a season high 31 shots throughout the course of the match. Morgan Blair ’11 (Hamburg, NY -- Hamburg) led the way for EC tallying a total of 7 shots.
Henson wasted little time in giving the Purple and Gold the lead. Her first goal was scored 6 minutes in on a pass from Shannon Desgrosiellier ’08 (New York Mills, NY -- New York Mills). Despite earning the early 1-0 lead the Soaring Eagles did not let up on their offensive pressure.
Kelsey Burke ’11 (Williamsville, NY -- Williamsville-North) added to EC’s lead in the 24th minute on an unassisted goal, her first of the season. Wells would notch their first and only goal on the score board 28 seconds after Burke's. However, EC’s defense managed to regain their composure, and only allowed one more shot for the rest of the first half.
Henson connected with Burke four minutes before the halftime break, extending EC’s lead back to two goals. Goalie Allison Holsinger ’10 (Denton, MD -- North Caroline) started in the cage for EC and earned herself one save.
Following the halftime break Jalene McCulloch ’10 (Belleville, ONT -- Millbrook School) stepped in goal for the Purple and Gold. McCulloch saw a total of four shots in the second half, and came up with a total of 2 saves.
Henson sealed the victory for EC at the 50th minute mark, when Blair managed to get a pass off to Henson, who then put it in the back of Wells cage.
EC returns to action Saturday, when they face Nazareth College in an Empire 8 conference match at 1 p.m. at Campus Field.
