The Elizabethtown College field hockey team gained their 10th straight win Oct. 17 when they faced Swarthmore College in a nonconference matchup.

Swarthmore did score first to begin the match, but a game-saving goal by first-year Grace Hardy put the Jays on the board in the 59th minute. For most of the game the attempted shots were equal, but Etown had an advantage with five more shots on goal than the Garnet.

The Jays also earned 15 more corner attempts than Swarthmore. There were no fouls or offsides called on either team throughout game play.

With neither team scoring after this, the game ended in a shootout where senior goalie Margo Donlin did not allow a single goal. In the final attempt at a goal, junior Olivia Beachley scored to give the Blue Jays the win.

The field hockey team traveled to Towson, Maryland to face Goucher College Oct. 20. This was their first Landmark loss, which occurred in overtime to end a 10 win streak for the Blue Jays.

The two opponents stayed even throughout the first half with only one goal being scored by the Gophers in the 34th minute. Then the Jays scored in the 61st minute: on a goal by junior Madison Kubik, which was her second of the season.

Donlin made nine saves this game, but it was not enough to take the win. This match also had no fouls or offsides against either team.

Both the Jays and the Gophers had seven corner attempts each as well. Goucher put one more in the back of the net 72 minutes in, ending the game at 2-1 Goucher.

The Etown field hockey team will travel to Glassboro, New Jersey to go up against Rowan University Oct. 24 at 7 p.m.
