Bucknell Field Hockey Drops Front Half of Connecticut Trip at Yale
Oct. 12, 2003
New Haven, Conn. - The Bucknell field hockey team incurred back-to-back losses for the first time this season with a 3-1 loss at Yale on Sunday afternoon. The Bison were coming off a 2-1 defeat at La Salle where the game remained tied 1-1 after a 70-minute regulation and two 15-minute overtime periods, only to lose in a penalty stroke shootout. The Bulldogs opened the scoring less than seven minutes into the first half off a penalty corner shot by Meredith Hudson, and increased their lead to 2-0 with Jana Halfon's goal at 19:57 into the first half. Less than two minutes later, Yale completed its scoring with a goal by Fran Gardner. The Bison kept the Bulldogs from scoring for the remaining 48:15 of the contest, but could only get one shot past Yale keeper Krissy Nesburg. Kate Ruda moved herself into a tie for Bucknell's goal leader on the season once again with Kelly O'Brien when she scored with just over eight minutes to go in the first half. Bucknell goalie Liz Jordan recorded eight saves on Yale's 16 shots while Nesburg had five saves on nine Bucknell shots. The Bison will complete their Connecticut trip on Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. at Quinnipiac.
