Field Hockey Stumble in 5-1 Loss at Mount Holyoke

SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. – Clark University field hockey (9-8, 1-7 NEWMAC) traveled to Mount Holyoke (6-10, 1-7) for each team's third-to-last game of the regular season. The Lyons took control early, building a 3-0 lead before ultimately closing out a 5-1 victory.

How it Happened

  • Junior Rachel Reiter made back-to-back saves with four minutes left in the quarter to keep the score at 1-0 heading into the first break.

  • Clark fired four shots on goal in the second quarter but couldn't get past Ainsley Gruener, who preserved the Lyons' 1-0 lead at halftime.

  • Just 41 seconds into the second half, the Lyons extended their advantage when MJ Owens worked her way across the face of the cage before slipping a shot into the far corner to make it 2-0.
