Box Score SEWANEE, Tenn. (Oct. 11, 2015) – Behind a strong offensive performance, the Sewanee field hockey team rolled past Southern Athletic Association (SAA) foe Transylvania, 3-1, Sunday, at Puett Field.
The Tigers are now 8-3 overall and 3-2 in conference play.
After Jessie Wilson scored for Transy, Sewanee answered back just over a minute later. On a fast break, Katie Wilson lifted the ball in the air where Madison McAdams slammed home a shot past Allyson Benz.
Overall, Sewanee took 19 first half shots and had 11 corners.
In the final 35 minutes of action, the Tigers stayed on the attack. Carrie Anderson pushed Sewanee in front as Kat Mulligan found her in front of the cage in the 40th minute.
Anderson would then score another transition goal as Virginia Barry dribbled the ball in and passed to a wide-open Anderson.
A big key on both plays was Sewanee's ability to quickly get the ball in the attacking third from the midfield. Janie Spilman, Nikki Ereli, Luna Goodale, and Emma Horgan all were outstanding stopping Transy attacks and then getting the ball outside on the attack.
Anderson led the Sewanee attack with six shots while Wilson finished with five. Barry and Hannah Tompkins also had four shots.
Sewanee quickly returns to action with a 4:00 p.m., match, Monday, against Bethany.
