Field Hockey Opens Season With Two Wins
|
Cornell Field Hockey (2-0, 0-0 Ivy) began its 2016 season with a dominant performance at home against Colgate (1-4, 0-0 Patriot) on Saturday. After a few sluggish opening minutes, sophomore forward Kate Fitzpatrick started the scoring on a rebound goal. “The first few minutes were a little shaky but then we started to settle down,” said Head Coach Donna Hornibrook. “Once we did, we started to move the ball that opened up some opportunities for us.”
Senior midfielder Elizabeth Horak added a goal right before halftime, but the Red really put things together in the second half. Cornell dominated possession and stifled Colgate’s offense, holding the Raiders to just three shot attempts.
