Field Hockey Defeats Keuka On the Road

KEUKA, NY - The Utica University field hockey team defeats the Keuka Wolves 1-0 on Friday evening. With the win, Utica has clinched a playoff berth.
 
The first quarter saw Keuka generating offensive pressure, recording the most shots in the frame with five, three of which fell on goal for the Wolves. Four minutes into the game, Tori Nelson fired a shot, but was denied by Utica goalkeeper Hannah Young (Jordanville, NY/Little Falls). Both teams would end the opening frame scoreless.
 
Utica started the second quarter with its foot on the gas as the team registered three shots, compared to Keuka's zero. Utica would capitalize on the offensive efforts at 25:07 as Mackenzie Mix (Camden, NY/Camden) registered her fourth goal of the season to put Utica on the board up 1-0.
 
The second half of play was a back and forth battle as both teams would fight for possession. The Pioneers were setting up its offense well yet could not find the back of the net. At 40:25 in the third quarter, freshman Jocelyn Spiezio (Greenwich, NY/Greenwich) recorded a shot on goal, but was saved by Keuka's goalkeeper Jordan Nichols.
 
The Pioneers played fantastic today and were firing on both sides of the ball. Offensively, Mix and Speiezio led the way for Utica, each recording two shots on goal. 
 
Junior netminder Hannah Young (Jordanville, NY/Little Falls) recorded five saves allowing zero goals on the evening making this her first shutout of the season.
