Hawks Drop 2-1 OT Thriller to No. 10 Stonehill

Manchester, N.H. (September 12) -- Despite a spectacular 20-save performance by freshman goalie Lindsay MacDonald (Dedham, Mass.), the Saint Anselm field hockey team fell to No. 10 Stonehill by a 2-1 final in overtime on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

After a scoreless first half, the Hawks struck at the 45:52 mark as Morgan Seney (Bow, N.H.) converted her first goal of the season for the 1-0 lead. The goal came on a penalty corner as Seney tipped home the pass from Maura Hurley (Holden, Mass.).

Stonehill held an incredible 37-2 advantage in penalty corners in the contest and converted one late in regulation to tie the game at 1-1. The Skyhawks put together seven straight corners at one point before Courtney Foley notched the game-tying goal with just 3:03 left on the clock.

In the overtime, the Skyhawks had nine more penalty corners, resulting in seven saves by Saint Anselm's MacDonald in goal. As time expired in the overtime period though, Lindsay Pinkham played through the horn signaling the end of the period and scored the game winner to extend Stonehill's winning streak to five straight games.

MacDonald, who now has 40 saves in her last three games, took the hard-luck loss to drop to 0-5 overall. Courtney Osier made three saves to pick up her fifth win of the season.

The Hawks are now 0-5 overall, while Stonehill is 5-2 on the season. The Hawks are back in action on September 16th as the team hosts Franklin Pierce for a 4 p.m. start.
