W&M Field Hockey Shuts Out Richmond, 3-0

WILLIAMSBURG, VA - William and Mary’s field hockey team opened it home season with a decisive, 3-0, shutout win over Richmond this afternoon at Busch Field. The Tribe, which has now won its last five home openers, improves to 2-4 on the season, while Richmond falls to 1-4.

W&M got on the board early, as sophomore Jill Hocutt (Wilmington, DE) picked up the rebound of junior Jordan Steele’s (Williamsburg, VA) penalty corner shot and put it away, scoring what would prove to be the game-winner just 2:03 into the contest. Eleven minutes later, sophomore Sydney Schell (Fort Worth, TX) made her first assist of the year, setting up sophomore forward Ginny Sutton (Richmond, VA) who scored her team-high fourth goal of the season to put the Tribe up 2-0. Near the end of the half, senior forward Ann Ekberg (Virginia Beach, VA) scored the third goal of the half, putting a loose ball following a corner into the top left side of the net.

The Tribe defense held strong throughout, holding the Spiders to just five shots in the game. W&M junior goalkeeper Claire Miller (Virginia Beach, VA) made three saves in the contest, including a diving stop in the last 30 seconds, to record her second shutout of the season.

William and Mary returns to action with a pair of home games at Busch Field next weekend, taking on Radford at 1:00 PM on Saturday and hosting current No. 2 in the nation Old Dominion on Sunday at 2:00 PM.
