Field Hockey Set Back by Skidmore, 2-0

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Behind goals from seniors Morgan Sickels and Carrie Hughes on Senior Day, the Skidmore College field hockey team defeated Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) 2-0 at Wagner Park on Sunday. With the victory, Skidmore improved to 10-8 overall and 3-4 in the conference, securing a spot in the Liberty League Playoffs as the fifth seed. The Engineers fall to 7-9 and 1-6.
 
  • Sickels took a pass from CC Wetter on a rush and scored with 2:24 remaining in the first quarter on a 1-on-1 with the goalie.
  • The breakthrough tally for the Thoroughbreds came after six shots on goal were saved by RPI goalie Sarah Nace over the first 10:32 of play.
  • Hughes blasted in a shot off a Skidmore penalty corner for insurance at 42:35. Gillian Maher and Tobi Dolan assisted.
  • Victoria Bodnar made five saves, including four in the second half alone, to secure her third shutout of the year.
  • Nace had eight saves in the contest.
  • Skidmore edged RPI in shots, 12-10.
  • Penalty corners finished knotted at six.

NEXT UP: Skidmore closes the regular season with a pair of non-league games and RPI has one non-conference contest, a home game against Oneonta on Saturday (1pm).
