Misericordia University Athletics

The Misericordia University field hockey team lost, 3-0, to Cortland, Saturday afternoon at Mangelsdorf Field.
 
Jordan Nonnemacher had five saves while Madison Lasinski recorded three shots on goal.
 
The Cougars were on the defensive for the early part of the first quarter, defending Cortland's possession on their side of the field.
 
After a long outlet pass got Misericordia onto its offensive side, the Cougars went on the attack, trying to put pressure on the Red Dragon defense with a couple of penalty corners.
 
Misericordia's team defense held strong again as another Cortland look from in front of the goal was blocked by a Cougar defender.
 
Eventually Cortland converted on a goal to take a 1-0 lead with just over eight minutes left in the first quarter.
 
Lasinski had a chance to even it up after stealing the ball on the right flank, taking it to the middle and firing, but the Red Dragon goalie managed to get a foot out in front of it and make the stop.
 
Cortland added a goal in the second and third quarters to extend its lead to 3-0.
 
The Cougars were able to manufacture some offense in the final frame as Lasinski got the ball on the left flank and got a shot off, but the Cortland goalie made the stop.
 
Lasinski had one more scoring opportunity with less than 30 seconds left, taking a shot from the right of the goal that was kicked away.
