Hood Downs Hockey in Finale

WINCHESTER, Va. - Visiting Hood College sent the Shenandoah University field hockey team down to defeat in the Hornets season finale Monday afternoon.

Despite giving up the game's initial goal, the Blazers (2-11) were able to roar back for the 4-1 victory over SU (0-15).

Sophomore Jocelyn Whitt scored that initial goal of the game for the hosts - she drove home a deflected shot from Paola Aguilar just 1:54 into the contest.

Unfortunately for the Sprint Field at Shentel Stadium crowd, this would be the high-water mark for the hosts.

Hood answered with a Jessica Head goal at 9:58 and preceded to score three more goals in the next 17:07 of game time to ice the contest. Brandy Noel had what proved to be the game-winner with her goal at 17:41 while Samantha Liptrap scored twice within a 65-second span.

The Hornets outshot the Blazers 8-5 and held a 13-7 advantage in penalty corners.
