Lakers Post Second Consecutive Shutout; Move Closer To .500
Oct. 7, 2006
Louisville, Ky. - An unofficial ranking of the toughest field hockey schedules in division II ranked Mercyhurst's as the toughest to date. After losing four games to the top five teams in the country, the Lakers have now bounced back with two consecutive shutouts, posting the latest one in a 5-0 victory over Catawba Saturday. The win moved Mercyhurst back to within one game of .500 at 4-5 on the season. Vanessa Mourey scored the first of her three goals only 2:04 into play and the Lakers were able to control play from that point forward. Mourey would add a second first-half goal and then had a second half tally sandwiched between scores from Lauren MacEllven and Haley Brochu. Julie Smith played 59:55 in goal and Jennifer Coleman played the other 10:05 to combine on the shutout. The Lakers held a 27-20 shots advantage. Mercyhurst will now take its 152 minute shutout streak into play Sunday at Bellarmine. The Lakers already hold a 2-0 win over Bellarmine and will look to return to .500 for the first time since early in the year. |
