W&M Field Hockey Defeats Ball State, 2-1

ATHENS, OH - William and Mary sophomore midfielder Maggie Long (Ocean City, NJ) scored her first career goal and junior midfielder Shannon Karl (Centreville, VA) knocked in the first game-winning goal of her career, as the Tribe field hockey team defeated Ball State, 2-1, this afternoon at Ohio University’s Pruitt Field.

The win improves W&M’s record to 2-0 on the year, while the Cardinals fall to 0-2.

W&M held an 11-3 shot advantage in the first half, taking a 1-0 lead in the 28th minute when Long tipped in a deflected shot off BSU goalkeeper Tracy Bannister. The Cardinals tied the score in the 45th minute on a goal by Chantelle Isaac, before Karl put the Tribe ahead on a goal with just 1:40 remaining in regulation.

The Green and Gold outshot Ball State, 19-10, with each team attempting eight penalty corners. W&M senior goalkeeper Heather Kibbee (Leucadia, CA) started the game, making a save and allowing a goal. Freshman Gwen Hunter (Seaville, NJ) took over for the final 18:22 of the contest and did not face a shot. Isaac made seven saves while playing the entire game for BSU. Tribe junior defender Anna Davis (Richmond, VA) also prevented a goal with her first defensive save of the season.

W&M returns to action on Friday, September 3 at 7:00 PM against Pennsylvania in the first home game of the year for the Tribe.
