Field Hockey Suffers Overtime Loss

Box Score | RPI Athletics on Twitter

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. - Senior Casey Collette scored with 1:10 left in regulation, but the Union College field hockey team tallied in overtime and defeated Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), 4-3, in a Liberty League contest at Frank Bailey Field. Mikaela DiBello had the other two goals for the Engineers (2-10; 1-3), who got 14 saves from Rachel Kaufman.

Sophomore midfielder Cici Lyne netted the game-winning goal with less than three minutes remaining in the first overtime when she collected a loose ball and tapped it into an open goal.

Union took a 1-0 lead at 17:03, but DiBello notched her eighth of the season from the far post after receiving a pass from Taylor Clink at 22:52. The play started with a penalty corner.

The Dutchwomen regained their edge before the half ended and then took a 3-1 lead on a Charlotte Leyland marker at 2:07 into the second half. DiBello pulled RPI back to within one goal five minutes later when she carried the ball into the box from midfield and scored. Collette notched her fourth of the year when she pushed a rebound across the line off a scramble close to the goal.

Kaufman finished with six saves in the first half, six in the second and one in the third. Clink added a defensive save for the Engineers, who are home on Sunday afternoon against Ithaca College (1pm).
