Field Hockey Gains 3-0 Shutout Against Arcadia

(boxscore)

The game got off to a slow start, but Widener took control in the second half with three goals today at Edith R. Dixon Field for a 3-0 shutout over Arcadia.

The first half of this Commonwealth Conference face-off ended in a 0-0 draw. Arcadia (4-12, 0-5 CC) had a chance to get one-up on Widener when a penalty stroke was awarded to Ashley Ditchey, but freshman goalkeeper Maggie Karmeris (Wilmington, DE) shut her down.

At the 39-minute marker Kate Fetterman (Lewes, ME) fed the ball to Olivia Burgese (Collegeville, PA), who then scored the first goal of the game and her first of the season. Emily Norcross (Erial, NJ) helped to give the Pride (7-6, 2-2) some breathing room in the 53rd minute when she got the ball past goalkeeper Sarah Baumgardner. To help close the game, senior Colleen Cormier (Westampton, NJ) received a pass from Katie Ferguson (Glen Mills, PA) with just five minutes left and put the ball in the back of the cage.

Karmeris notched three saves. Widener outshot Arcadia 7-2 and gained four more penalty corners.

Widener next travels to Lebanon Valley on Saturday beginning at 1:00 pm for a Commonwealth Conference game.
