KSC field hockey rallies to beat Colby-Sawyer

NEW LONDON — Maggie Cahoon and Molly Murray both scored in unique ways in the final 20 minutes, the latter on a penalty stroke, as the Keene State College field hockey team broke a hex in one-goal games by rallying for a 2-1 victory over Colby-Sawyer College in non-conference action Wednesday afternoon at Sally Shaw Veitch Track and Field in New London.

Colby Sawyer's early tally came after the Owls turned the ball over in their half of the field, with Aleah Murph intercepting a pass and feeding Calie Sorenson with plenty of time and space inside the circle to the right of KSC goalkeeper Clara Gorman.

Gorman made three stops to pick up her first career victory in the Owls' cage, while Colby Sawyer's Lauren Wilkinson saved seven.

Keene State and Colby-Sawyer both stand at 1-1.

The Owls will next be in action on Tuesday when they travel to take on Amherst College at 6:30 p.m.
