McCarthy Scores Twice To Help No. 13 Field Hockey Over American, 2-1
September 25, 2016 | Field Hockey
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Junior Ryan McCarthy scored twice as the No. 13 Princeton field hockey team took care of the American University Eagles, 2-1, on Sunday afternoon.
Â
With her two tallies, McCarthy has seven goals on the season which ties her career high. Sophomore Grace Baylis had five saves in the win.
Â
McCarthy got the Tigers on the board as she scored on a penalty stroke in the eighth minute. After an American corner, sophomore Casey Swezey found McCarthy streaking down the field where the junior blasted a shot from the right wing into the back of the net to make it 2-0.
Â
The Tigers looked to add on as they took three consecutive shots in 31st minute, forcing American's Maura Jacobs to make two saves.
Â
American got on the board in the 64th minute when it had back-to-back corners. On the second corner, the Eagles' Angela Virtu picked up a rebound and slid it past Baylis. The Eagles were also awarded a corner as time expired, but couldn't get an offensive threat together.
Â
Princeton will continue the road portion of its schedule next weekend with trips to Yale (Oct. 1) and Penn State (Oct. 2).
