ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. - Meredith field hockey continued its long road stretch on Saturday, falling to St. Mary's College of Maryland, 5-3, on Saturday evening.
The Avenging Angels scored first and last, but the Seahawks controlled the middle of the game, with a 5-0 run to take control.
Meredith's performance was highlighted by a strong start and end to the contest, beginning with
Marissa Tilgner's goal to get things started off
Alicia Hunter's first career assist.
MC held that slim 1-0 lead through the end of the first quarter, but the Seahawks delivered an offensive onslaught, scoring three times in just over three minutes early in the second quarter to take the lead.
Trailing 5-1 in the fourth quarter, Meredith continued trying to claw back into the game, with
Maya Kirstein finding the back of the net off an assist from
Marissa Tilgner, marking back-to-back games with a goal for Kirstein. Then, in the closing minutes,
Megan Ingenito converted on a penalty stroke goal to end the game on a high note for the Avenging Angels.
Up next, Meredith will be back on the road for a midweek contest, taking on Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia this Wednesday, October 14 at 6 p.m.
