Washington, D.C. - The Georgetown field hockey team defeated Robert Morris today, 2-1, on Kehoe field to improve to 2-2 on the year and to split a pair of weekend games. The Colonials dropped to 1-3. Freshman midfielder Chelsea Aiken (Hudson, Ohio/Western Reserve Academy) scored the game-winning goal, the first goal of her young Georgetown career.
Aiken scored the game-winner at the 4:46 mark off a penalty corner set up by senior defender Megan Cellucci (Malvern, Pa./Villa Maria Academy) and freshman midfielder Willemijn Wijsman (Hilversum, The Netherlands/International School Hilversum). The penalty corner was one of 18 total opportunities the Hoyas were able to create. They outshot the Colonials, 29-7 in the game.
Just four seconds shy of halftime, Robert Morris forward Sarah Schrott connected on a shot to level the game at one going into halftime.
