DARTMOUTH, Mass. - The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth field hockey team dropped a 4-2 decision to Clark at home Tuesday night at Cressy Field.
Scoring for the Corsairs (2-3) were graduate student
Kylie Dias and sophomore
Harley Hodge. Finding the back of the cage for the Cougars (3-4) were graduate student Kimberlie Asseng, sophomore Autumn Golding and freshmen Ciarian Cubbage and Alison Kopec.
After a scoreless first quarter, it took 45 seconds into the second for the Corsairs to earn a penalty corner and take advantage. Junior
Maggie McCafferty ripped a shot that got lost in a scrum in front of the goal, and Dias was there to send it home to make it a 1-0 advantage.
Clark took the lead in the final minute of the half. Asseng scored with 41 seconds left to even the score at one. Then, with no time on the clock, a Clark penalty corner resulted in a goal from Golding assisted by senior Abbe Cravinho to bring the score to 2-1.
Hodge knotted the score at two at the 35:05 mark of the third quarter off a corner and assists from junior
Colleen Murphy and sophomore
Jenna Carvalho.
Cubbage then scored the game-winning goal just over five minutes later, and the Cougars added an insurance goal early in the fourth when Kopec found the back of the cage to finish it off.
UMass Dartmouth resumes Little East Conference play at Plymouth State on Saturday at 3 p.m.
