Gators Field Hockey Defeat Highlanders, 3-0

HOUGHTON, NY – The Allegheny College Gators moved to .500 on the season, defeating the Houghton College Highlanders on Burke Field, 3-0.
 
Houghton pressured the Gators early, earning three corners in less than three minutes, but could not capitalize on the opportunities.
 
Allegheny final put the first goal on the score board in the tenth minute of play when Jenna Cassani received a direct insert from Kinsley Greenlaw at the top of the circle, took a touch and ripped a shot into the back of the cage.
 
As the clock wound down the closing seconds of the first quarter, the Gators earned a corner.  After the insert, the ball bounced around in front of the Houghton cage.  Bella Cowen's shot deflected to Greenlaw as the horn sounded and the Houghton defense appeared to stop play as Greenlaw aimed a final shot at the cage.  By rule, a corner is not completed until the ball is cleared out of the area, and while the shot crossed the line after time expired, the goal still counted, putting Allegheny up, 2-0.
 
The Gators added an insurance goal in the 39th minute of play when Greenlaw struck again, once again off a deflected shot.
 
Houghton had several opportunities throughout the closing minutes of the third quarter, including hard shots from Sarah Retz and Katherine Manley, but Allegheny goalie, Haillie Reiger, stopped every shot the Highlanders put on goal.
 
Houghton pressured throughout the final period and to the closing seconds, but would come no closer.
