Field hockey edged in overtime at Nazareth, 2-1


ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- The Washington & Jefferson field hockey team suffered a 2-1 defeat to Nazareth in overtime Saturday in an Empire 8 Conference match in New York. 

The loss drops W&J to 2-4 overall and 2-1 in E8 play. Nazareth improves to 1-0 in conference play and 1-5 overall. 

The Presidents led for the majority of the match after tallying a first quarter goal. In the eighth minute of play, Freshman forward Lily Giering (Reading, Pa./Exeter Township) tallied her fifth goal of the campaign, scoring off an assist from junior forward Hailey Wachowiak (Wexford, Pa./North Allegheny). 

W&J held that lead through halftime until the early stages of the fourth quarter. Grace Wasileski evened the match with a fourth quarter goal that forced overtime. The host Golden Flyers earned the win just 37 seconds into overtime on a penalty stroke goal by Avery Tanton. 

The match was dead evenly on the stat sheet. Nazareth held a slight edge in shots (12-11) and shots on goal (7-6). Both teams had eight penalty corners and five saves. 

W&J returns to action with an Empire 8 match against Utica University on Saturday, Sept. 24. Start time at Cameron Stadium is scheduled for 12 p.m.
