NEW PALTZ, NY- The Utica College field hockey team jumped out to a quick start, but it was not enough as New Paltz ran away with a 7-1 win in non-conference action Saturday.
 
UC got on the board just 6:08 into the contest as junior Josie Sgarlata (Canastota, NY/Canastota) netted her first of the year, assisted by classmate Joanna Gaertner (Schuylerville, NY/Schuylerville).  The Hawks responded less than six minutes later, scoring two goals in 11 seconds to swing the momentum. 
 
The home team added another tally three minutes later to take a 3-1 lead into halftime.  The second half was all New Paltz as the Hawks tacked on four more scores to come away with the victory.
 
Utica goalies Megan Chamberlain (Queensbury, NY/Queensbury) and Carly Tebolt (Wappingers, NY/Roy C Ketcham) combined for seven saves in the loss.  Sophomore Sabrina Whitehouse (Greenwich, NY/Greenwich) led the Pioneers with four shots on goal.
 
UC looks to rebound Sunday as it takes on Oneonta.  Game time is scheduled for 2 p.m.
