FREDERICK, Md.--The Hood College field hockey team (0-3, 0-2 CAC) suffered a 6-0 Capital Athletic Conference defeat at the hands of the visiting York College (Pa.) Spartans (1-1, 1-0 CAC) Tuesday at Thomas Athletic Field.

York tallied four goals in the first half and two more in the second en route to their first victory of the fall. Junior forward Allison Roush netted a hat trick and assisted on two more tallies to lead the Spartan attack. Junior forward Katie Dawkins registered a pair of goals and freshman forward Sandee Reich also scored for the final margin.

Hood senior forward Brandy Noel had one of Hood's best chances to get on the board but her attempt with less than seven minutes to go just grazed the side of the cage.

The Blazer goalkeeping tandem of junior Anne Marie Hantman and freshman Kaitlin McCloskey each played one half in the cage and combined for 12 saves. Hantman turned away eight and McCloskey denied four. Freshman defender Michelle Buhrman collected three defensive saves for the Blazers.

Hood has nine days off before its next contest. The Blazers entertain Goucher College Thursday, Sept. 17, in a nonleague matchup at 4:30 p.m.
