Box Score

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -  The Susquehanna field hockey team opened Landmark Conference play on Saturday with a road game at Moravian and unfortunately the Greyhounds came away with a 2-1 overtime victory.

The Crusaders (6-4, 0-1) and Greyhounds (7-3, 1-0) each scored first-half goals but neither scored again in regulation, forcing overtime where Moravian scored just over two minutes into the action to hand SU the loss.

The numbers were nearly even for both teams, with SU and Moravian both taking 12 shots and six penalty corners apiece. Taylor Secor (Stroudsburg, Pa./Stroudsburg) scored on her only shot of the game while Brodie Ercole (Oakmont, Pa./Lewisburg Area) and Katherine Millett (Auburn, Maine/North Yarmouth Academy) had three shots each to lead the team.

Secor got the scoring started with a goal inside the two-minute mark of the first half. It appeared the Crusaders were about to head into halftime with a 1-0 lead but Moravian's Chelsea Grotyohann scored on a penalty stroke as time expired for a 1-1 game.

It remained 1-1 for the entire second half. Millett took the final shot of the half with five minutes to play but it was blocked and the game would eventually go into overtime.

SU was never able to get a shot off in the extra period before the Greyhounds' Kelly O'Donnell scored on her own rebound to end the game.

The Crusaders return to action on Oct. 2 with a 7 p.m. game at William Paterson.
