No. 3 Field Hockey Scores On Untimed Corner to Upset No. 1 Millersville, 2-1

SU hands top-ranked team its first loss as Molly Stuart scores at the horn

Junior Molly Stuart scored on an untimed penalty corner at the end of regulation Tuesday to propel the No. 3 Shippensburg University field hockey team to a 2-1 upset victory of No. 1 Millersville at Biemesderfer Stadium.
 
Shippensburg (9-2, 7-2 PSAC) handed Millersville (9-1, 7-1) its first loss of the season by scoring on Stuart's deep shot in the arc off a pass from senior Lucy Kauffman.
 
It was SU's second chance to score at the end of regulation, as its untimed corner was drawn during another penalty corner that was in progress as the clock struck zero.
 
After falling behind 1-0 in the first half, sophomore Cassie Rawa tied the score at 26:37 on a penalty corner by deflecting a blistering entry from sophomore Suzanne Muller high over MU keeper Lauren Sotzin.
 
It was SU's only shot on goal in the first half.
 
Millersville recorded a 20-8 advantage in shots and drew 17 penalty corners, but SU freshman goalkeeper Ally Mooney made a career-high 11 saves for the Raiders.
 
SU also had to navigate a stretch of play late in the second half in which it had just nine players on the field, as the Raiders were issued a pair of yellow cards within a four-minute span.
 
Four of SU's seven penalty corners came in the final 90 seconds of play, including three in the final minute. Nine of Mooney's 11 saves came in the first half.
 
The two teams entered Tuesday's game ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the country for goals-against average, as the Marauders had yielded just four and the Raiders five.
 
Shippensburg travels to Mansfield on Saturday for a noon matchup with the Mountaineers.
