| Anne Leigh stopped 14 shots, but the
Scots were upended by Oberlin in double-overtime. |
The College of Wooster field hockey team dropped its second conference
game of the season in heartbreaking fashion, losing 2-1 in double
overtime to Oberlin College. With the loss, the Scots drop to 4-3
overall and 1-2 in North Coast Athletic Conference play.
The contest was a shootout from the beginning, as both teams combined
for 42 on the day. Wooster had the edge by eight (25-17) but found
the back of the goal just once. Anlyn Addis knocked
home her first goal of the season via a pass from Lindsay
Tingley with 3:30 left in the first half, giving the Scots
the early advantage. Oberlin battled back, as Kaitlin Barrer
found Christine Castilla at 19:45 in the second
half to tie the score at 1-1. That’s were the score remained
through the rest of regulation and the first overtime.
In the second extra session, the Yeowomen forced the action, coming
up with two penalty corners to the Scots zero, and taking the lone
shot of the period by either team. That shot was the game-winner,
as Claire Cheney knocked in the pass from Meg
Reitz.
Although Anne Leigh took the loss, the sophomore
goalkeeper had a productive day, stopping 14 shots in 89:40 minutes
of action.
The Scots will be in action this Saturday, Sept. 25, as they travel
to Wittenberg University for a conference match up, beginning at
6:00 p.m.
