HARRISONBURG, Va. -- A trio of Hawkeyes combined to score five goals, sending the University of Iowa field hockey team past Richmond in a neutral site contest on Friday at the James Madison University Field Hockey Complex. The Hawkeyes dropped the Spiders, 5-1, to improve to 2-1 overall.
“It was great to get the result today against a very solid Richmond team,” said UI head coach Lisa Cellucci. “We have to improve our individual and team defense in order to play a complete 70 minute game.”
The first of Iowa’s five goals came just 2 1/2 minutes in when junior Stephanie Norlander slapped a pass from sophomore Mallory Lefkowitz past Richmond goalkeeper Amanda Hoyt, giving the Hawkeyes an early 1-0 lead.
