Tribe Field Hockey Defeats Syracuse, 3-1

WILLIAMSBURG, VA - William and Mary’s field hockey team won its seventh straight game, defeating Syracuse, 3-1, this evening at Busch Field. The win in the College’s final home game of the season gives the Tribe a 10-7 record, while the Orangewomen fall to 10-9.

Senior forward Ann Ekberg (Virginia Beach, VA) gave W&M a 1-0 lead, scoring off a penalty corner at the end of the first half, on a pass from senior defender Jessica Nixon (Haddonfield, NJ). The goal was Ekberg’s team-leading 18th of the year.

Just over eight minutes into the second period Syracuse tied the game on a penalty corner goal scored by Kristin Aronowicz with assists credited to Ann-Marie Guglieri and Meredith Gettel. Five minutes later senior midfielder Kristen Southerland (Virginia Beach, VA) put the Tribe up for good, picking up a loose ball and scoring her sixth goal of the season. Sophomore midfielder Jill Hocutt (Wilmington, DE) scored W&M’s third goal, putting away a rebound with just over 11 minutes left in the game.

W&M held a commanding 20-3 lead in shots for the game, and took 11 penalty corners to Syracuse’s two. The game was the seventh straight in which the Tribe scored at least three goals, tying a streak set in 1975 when W&M finished fourth in the nation.

The Tribe will look to clinch second place in the Colonial Athletic Association in its final contest of the regular season Sunday, with a 2:00 PM game at ninth-ranked James Madison.
