Cahill Nets First Collegiate Goal in 2-1 Loss to Stevenson

FREDERICK, Md.--Freshman Megan Cahill of the Hood College field hockey team (3-5, 0-3 CAC) notched her first collegiate goal in the second half in a 2-1 Capital Athletic Conference loss to the Stevenson University Mustangs (3-5, 1-3 CAC) on a blustery afternoon at Thomas Athletic Field.

Stevenson's leading scorer Katelyn Manocheh notched a pair of goals, one in each half, to lift the visitors to their first CAC win of the season. Her first score came just 3:36 into the game off a feed from Brittany Martin. Then in the 56th minute, Sarah Bauer set up Manocheh for her team-leading fifth tally of the fall.

Cahill found the back of the cage in the 63rd minute to cut the Mustang lead in half. Senior Brandy Noel found Cahill streaking to the cage and collected her second assist of the season when Cahill beat Stevenson keeper Kara Zimmerman.

The Blazers had two penalty corners in the final seven minutes but both of freshman Michelle Buhrman's attempts were blocked by Mustang defenders.

Hood outshot the Mustangs, 20-9, but was unable to net the equalizer. Zimmerman finished with 10 saves in the victory while Hood goalie Anne Marie Hantman turned away a pair of shots on the day.

The Blazers next travel to Wesley College Friday for a 7 p.m. CAC tilt.
