Highlights

Chestertown, Md – Freshman Kat Esposito's goal in overtime gave the host Washington College field hockey squad a, 2-1, Centennial Conference victory against the Muhlenberg Mules on Saturday afternoon at Roy Kirby Jr., Stadium. The Shorewomen improve to 6-9 (2-6) while the visitors fall to 5-9 (3-6).

How It Happened
-After a scoreless first half with few scoring opportunities for each squad, Esposito put the Shorewomen on the board 4:40 into the third quarter. Junior midfielder Anna Harrington sent a great cross into the circle from the left wing and Esposito was able to beat Muhles goalkeeper Grace Leard with a shot into the right-corner of the cage.
-Muhlenberg got the equalizer with just under five minutes left in the third quarter as senior midfielder Maleah Hess maneuvered into the circle and sent a hard shot into the left-side of the goal from ten yards out.
-Esposito scored the game-winner of an assist by junior midfielder Kyra Heap. Junior defender Tatum Schatt started the play by bringing the ball down the right-side of the field and spotting Heap. Heap crossed the ball from the right-side just outside of the circle into the middle for a wide-open Esposito. Esposito controlled the feed and then flicked the ball just inside the left-post.
