Old Dominion scored the game’s first three goals, then held on for a 3-2 defeat of Quinnipiac in a Big East field hockey game on a rainy Friday night at the L.R. Hill Sports Complex.
In the first 20 minutes, Cox graduate Alexis Gingerich and fellow true freshman Anouck Vandersteen scored their first career goals. Erin Huffman tallied early in the second half for a 3-0 lead.
The Bobcats rallied with goals in the 51st and 54th minutes as heavy rain fell for most of the second half. But freshman keeper Lacey Frazier (Princess Anne) and the Monarchs’ defense protected the lead.
