Ali Cronin’s Game Winner Gives GU First Road Win

WASHINGTON – The Georgetown University field hockey team improved to 2-1 on the season after a late goal by junior Ali Cronin. GU handed Longwood its second 2-1 loss against the Hoyas in as many years. Sophomore Ciara Weets was stout in the goal, allowing just one goal on 22 shots from the Lancers. 
 
"Today was a great team win," said Head Coach Christy Longacre. "They worked together all the way up until the last horn. Longwood is a great team that showed speed and skill and we stayed strong defensively."
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Longwood was unable to capitalize during the  first quarter and was kept off the board despite four penalty corners.
  • Weets makes back-to-back stops early on in the second quarter.
  • Jordan Sweeney scored on the next offensive possession, which was the Hoyas first shot on the afternoon.
  • Weets stopped four-consecutive shots on Longwood's attack with just under five minutes to go in the third quarter.
  • Olivia Wawrzyniak scored late in the third for the Lancers to tie things up.
  • Ali Cronin scored with five minutes left on the clock to give GU the game winning goal.
 
OF NOTE
  • Weets had 13 saves on the day.
  • Georgetown had six shots on goal on 11 attempts.
  • The Lancers edged out the Hoyas with nine penalty corners to the GU's six.
