| Katy Baron scored a goal and added an
assist in leading Wooster over Earlham 5-0. |
The College of Wooster’s field hockey team claimed their
first conference victory of the season with a 5-0 win over Earlham
College today at Cindy Barr Field in North Coast Athletic Conference
action. The Scots improve their record to 4-2 on the season and
1-1 in league play.
Wooster’s offense dominated the game, out-shooting the Quakers
26-3 on the day. The Scots claimed the early lead when senior Angela
Arnold registered her third assist of the season by finding
Katy Baron on a cross eight minutes into the game.
The score was Baron’s first of the season. Wooster added another
goal before the end of the first half as it was Baron passing to
Lindsay Tingley for her second goal of the season
with 2:26 to go.
The Scots turned the offense up a notch in the second half, attacking
Earlham’s goal for 16 shots and 12 penalty corners. Arnold
continued her strong play, recording her team-leading fourth goal
of the season from a pass by junior Kelley Hubbell.
It was the third straight game Arnold scored a goal, and fifth straight
with at least one point. Hubbell added another assist, her fourth
of the season, on Tingley’s second score of the game via a
penalty corner at 19:34. Wooster would add another goal with 5:30
left when junior Lindsey Headman recorded her first
career goal off an assist by Ashley Arnold.
Sophomore goalkeeper Anne Leigh was rarely tested on the day, facing
just three shots and making three saves.
The Scots are next in action Tuesday, Sept. 21, when they travel
to Oberlin College for a NCAC match up beginning at 4:30.
