MANSFIELD, Pa. -- Sophomore Samantha Badaczewski (pictured above) scored the lone Rock goal Wednesday afternoon in a 3-1 loss to hosting and seventh-ranked Mansfield University in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference-Western Division action.

Sophomore Allie Hartman was credited with an assist on Badaczewski's goal, which came in the 49th minute of action.

Sophomore goalie Lisa Belcastro was credited with two saves as The Rock was outshot by a 12-6 margin.

Wednesday's loss was the third sustained by The Rock in five games this fall, with all three setbacks coming at the hands of teams ranked in the top 10 in the latest National Field Hockey Coaches Association Division II national poll.

The Rock lost a 9-1 season-opening decision to top-ranked and two-time defending national champion Bloomsburg and dropped a 3-0 decision last Saturday vs. third-ranked Indiana (Pa.).

The Rock returns to action Saturday, when it will travel to Erie to take on Mercyhurst in a PSAC-West game set to start at 1 p.m.

SRU is home next Wednesday to host Seton Hill in a 7 p.m. game at N. Kerr Thompson Stadium.
