The No. 1-ranked Shippensburg University field hockey team scored goals in all four quarters on Saturday as it defeated Limestone, 5-0, in a neutral-site game at Frostburg State University.
Â
Shippensburg (4-0) once again dominated possession and posted lopsided advantages in shots on goal (17-2) and penalty corners (19-3). Freshman
Lindsay Tripodo and senior
Meg Thompson combined for the shutout in goal.
Â
Offensively, freshman
Mya Kemp scored her first collegiate tally with 16 seconds left in the first quarter off a penalty corner to get the Raiders on the board. Kemp struck again five minutes later, which gave SU a 2-0 lead that would last to halftime.
Â
Wink tipped home a shot by senior
Jazmin Petrantonio five minutes into the third quarter to give the Raiders a 3-0 lead. About five minutes later, senior
Jenna Sluymer slammed home a goal after receiving a pass from graduate
Tori Albright. Sluymer also assisted Kemp's first goal.
Â
In the game's last minute, Petrantonio scored to produce the final scoring margin.
Â
Limestone (3-2), whose only previous loss was a 2-1 setback in double overtime to nationally-ranked Millersville, got 12 saves from goalkeeper Tereza Koprivova.
Â
Shippensburg returns to action next Saturday for the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) opener, a 1 p.m. home matchup with Mansfield at Robb Sports Complex.
