Wolverines erupt for three tallies before halftime
AMHERST, Mass. – University of Massachusetts field hockey battled with No. 5 nationally ranked Michigan, but the Wolverines tagged the home squad for three quick goals before halftime and added two more in the final stanza, taking a 5-0 decision on Friday night at the Gladchuk Field Hockey Complex. Both teams are 1-2 following the contest.
Â
Freshman goalkeeper Johanna von dem Borne (1-2) finished the night with 13 saves for the Minutewomen, while redshirt freshman Megan Davies made her collegiate debut and tallied four stops in the final 12:53 of play.
Â
Emma Way had two goals for the Wolverines while Meg Dowthwaite had three points on a goal plus a helper.
Â
Michigan found the scoreboard in the 26th minute when Way put home a reverse stick shot, taking a feed from Dowthwaite. Moments later, the visiting squad doubled its lead. With Halle O'Neill camped at the right post, Dowthwaite directed a shot that was deflected into the cage by Dowthwaite.
Â
Von dem Borne made several noteworthy saves throughout the contest, notably one on a first half penalty stroke awarded to Kayla Reed. Von dem Borne took one step to her right and kicked Reed's shot away, keeping the deficit at two.
Â
In the 33rd minute Dowthwaite inked her name into the goal column, swelling the advantage to 3-0 heading into halftime.
Â
Michigan's second half tallies came via Way in the 37th minute and Regan Leavitt in the 60th minute.
Â
UMass' best opportunity to get on the board came in the 51st minute. Georgie McTear carried the ball through the midfield and found Courtney Ocasal with a nicely-timed pass, but before Ocasal could beat Michigan's Anna Spieker, the goalkeeper dove to her right as Ocasal's shot went sailing wide of the cage.
Â
Massachusetts looks to return to the win column on Sun., Sept. 2 in a 1 p.m. game at Vermont.
