New Hampton, NH- Goals by four different members of the Plymouth State University field hockey team led the Panthers to a Little East Conference (LEC) win over Framingham State University, 4-1, in PSU's home opener at Kennedy Field on the campus of the New Hampton School on Saturday afternoon.

THE BASICS:

- Score: Plymouth State 4, Framingham State 1

- Records: Plymouth State (4-4, 2-2 LEC), Framingham State (2-6, 1-3 LEC)

- Location: Kennedy Field – New Hampton, NH

HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • Plymouth State started the scoring early in the first quarter off a goal by sophomore Mariah Luscher (Holderness, N.H.). Luscher was able to fire in a rebound in the circle when junior Haley Wakefield's (Norway, Maine) shot was blocked by a defender in front of the net.
  • PSU tacked on another goal just nine seconds later when sophomore Leah Mayes (Lebanon, N.H.) redirected a shot from classmate Jess Mezquita(Atkinson, N.H.).
  • In the first five minutes of the second quarter, freshman Mariah Craigue (Tuftonboro, N.H.) scored her first goal of her career to push the advantage to 3-0. Craigue received a pass from junior Kate McPherson (Conway, N.H.) deep in the circle and beat the FSU keeper.
  • Plymouth State scored a fourth goal off of a shot by junior Haley Wakefield (Norway, Maine) after corralling a loose ball that was knocked around the inside of the circle. She immediately took the shot and it went into the back of the net.
  • Framingham State spoiled the shutout bid when sophomore Jordyn O'Boyle (Bradford, Mass.) scored in the 45th minute to account for the final score. 

INSIDE THE NUMBERS:

  • The Panthers held a 9-5 shot advantage.
  • The Rams led with ten penalty corners to the Plymouth State's eight.
