KING'S COLLEGE FIELD HOCKEY FALLS TO #5 MESSIAH
GRANTHAM, PA -- The King's College field hockey team dropped its first
match of the season as the Lady Monarchs fell to fifth-ranked host
Messiah College 8-0 Tuesday in Grantham.
Messiah, which was coming off an impressive 3-2 win over third-ranked
Salisbury on Saturday, improved to 4-1 while King's slipped to 8-0.
Messiah's offense was well balanced with seven different Falcons
scoring. Nikki
Bailey was the lone multiple goal scorer on the day, tallying two goals
with one assist. Julie Barton found the back of the net once and assisted on
another goal.
King's, which was coming off an impressive 2-1 win over 13th ranked
Elizabethtown on Saturday, was unable to get its offense going on the
fast artificial turf surface at Messiah, mustering just one shot on
goal. Monarch goalie Erin McGinley made 25
saves on the day.
The Monarchs are back in action this
Saturday when they travel to Delaware Valley College for a 1:00 p.m. contest.
