No. 8 Rock loses in overtime at No. 6 Bloomsburg, 2-1

The No. 8 Slippery Rock field hockey team lost on the road in overtime to No. 6 Bloomsburg, 2-1, Saturday in a meeting of nationally ranked PSAC teams.

BLOOMSBURG, Pa. – In a meeting of nationally ranked Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference teams, the No. 8 Slippery Rock University field hockey team lost on the road in overtime Saturday to No. 6 Bloomsburg, 2-1.
 
Saturday's setback moves The Rock's record to 10-4 overall and 2-4 in league competition, while the Huskies improve to 11-3 overall and 4-2 inside the PSAC.
 
With three games remaining in the regular season, Slippery Rock is positioned in a tie for sixth place in the PSAC standings with Mansfield. The top six teams in the league standings at the conclusion of the regular season qualify conference tournament.
 
Slippery Rock was led on the day by Lucy Hutchinson, who scored one goal and accounted for five of SRU's nine shots. With the score, Hutchinson increased her season totals to 15 goals and 34 points, pushing her on the cusp of breaking Megan McKay's single-season program records from 2015 of 38 points and 16 goals.
 
Hilary Hoffman compiled three shots as well, one of which was on target. Riley Cloude posted SRU's other shot against the Huskies.
 
Goalkeeper Sam Black made three saves in 64:47 of playing time to pace a defense which limited Bloomsburg to just seven total shots.
 
As a team, Slippery Rock ended the game holding advantages over Bloomsburg in total shots (9-7), while the Huskies edged The Rock in shots on goal (5-2) and penalty corners (5-2).
 
Hutchinson logged the game's opening goal when she slipped a shot past Bloomsburg goalkeeper Molly Bross just under seven minutes into regulation before Alexandra Bliss pulled the Huskies even with The Rock three minutes later on an unassisted goal.
 
The rest of regulation belonged to the defenses as both teams combined to fend off six shots and six penalty corners to send the contest into overtime.
 
SRU came out fast in overtime, but shots by Hutchinson, Hoffman and Cloude were all blocked by Bloomsburg defenders over the first two minutes. The ultimate difference in the game came in the 65th minute when Bloomsburg was awarded a penalty corner that led to Lexy Freed's game-winning goal.
 
Slippery Rock returns home to host Indiana University (Pa.) 4 p.m. Oct. 28 at Mihalik-Thompson Stadium.
