Field Hockey: Owls Slip By Bantams 2-1

'KEENE, N.H. 10/10/06 - Marrissa Boccaccio's (West Hartford) goal with 4:15 to play  lifted Keene State College to a 2-1 come-from-behind win over Trinity College in a non-conference field hockey game played Tuesday night at Owl Athletic Complex.

 

 

Boccaccio drilled a shot past Bantam goalie Jillian Fraker (Taft, Conn.) from just inside the circle for the game-winner.  Both of her two goals this season have been game-winners.  She netted the deciding goal in a 2-1 victory over UMass-Dartmouth last Tuesday.

 

 

In the first half, Owl goalie Sara Joyce (Hampstead, N.H.) stopped a penalty stroke by Lauren Malinowski (Longmeadow, Mass.). However, Trinity took a 1-0 lead 54 seconds later when Christine Mwaturura (Chisipite, Zimbabwe) swept a shot into the net at the 15:01 mark.

 

 

In the second half, Keene State tied the game on a perfectly executed corner play.  Amanda Rosenbeck took a pass from Karen Robinson and beat Fraker for her team-leading ninth goal of the season.

 

 

That set the stage for Boccaccio's game-winner later in the half.

 

 

Joyce finished with 14 saves for the Owls (10-4) who have won six out of their last seven games.  Fraker stopped seven shots for the Bantams who drop to 6-3.

 

 

It was Keene State's first win over Trinity since the 2003 season.

 

 

Both teams return to action on Saturday.  Keene State travels to Southern Maine (1 p.m.) while Trinity is home to face Tufts (11 a.m.).
