KING'S FIELD HOCKEY SAILS PAST ELMS
WILKES-BARRE, PA -- At the first day of a field hockey tournament, the
Lady Monarchs sailed past a young Elms College team. King's scored early
and often en route to a 14-0 win.
The 14-goal outage was the second most in King's history, standing
one-goal shy of the 15 goals the Lady Monarchs put up against Elms in
2006.
Debbie Wychock opened the scoring just five minutes into the match when
she took a lead pass, split the defense and buried the shot to the
goalies right. She scored again just four minutes later with a pass from
Candice Russ. Just minutes later, freshman midfielder Jenera Quinones
scored a shot off of a penalty corner.
Heather Kozimor kept the action going in the 17th minute when took it to
the goal on a breakaway with the goalie. King's was then held scoreless
for the next twelve minutes before Kristy Langella scored another
corner, this time on the left side. Kozimor finished up the first half
scoring her second goal of the day, again on a breakaway.
Wychock opened the second half, scoring just one minute in, bringing it
down the left side and finishing. She scored two minutes later off a
long pass from Christina Glenn. Glenn led Wychock with the pass into the
middle and then Wychock turned and buried the ball. Quinones took her
second goal of the day when she took a blistering shot down the right
post.
Melissa Pirigy had a perfect day, taking two shots, both of them going
into the goal. Her first came from Candice Russ, who finished the day
with two assists. Pirigy's second goal was unassisted.
Briana Turnbaugh deflected a long shot taken by freshman Shawna Walp,
who then scored a goal of her own just two minutes later. The final goal
of the game was scored by Kozimor, her third of the day.
The Lady Monarchs are back in action Sunday when they take on the winner
of the Vassar/ M.I.T. match. Game time is set for either 10:00am or
12:00pm. Please check back here tomorrow afternoon for results.
