The Elizabethtown College’s field hockey team competed against Lebanon Valley College (LVC) Wednesday, Sept. 4, walking away with their first win for the season, 3-2.

In quarter one, the Blue Jays took three shots which were blocked or saved by LVC’s goalie, Corinne Kearney. The first goal of the game was made by senior Olivia Beachley in the second quarter.

The second goal for Etown was made in the third quarter by senior Lauren Scheib and assisted by junior Anna Mostoller. This followed LVC’s first goal made early in the quarter. The fourth quarter came with another score made by LVC, putting the game at 2-2 and adding an overtime play.

Overtime was short, lasting only about a minute before the Blue Jays secured the win. The goal was made by Scheib with an assist by first-year Chloe Smith. Beachley was a top player with five shots, four shots on goal and one goal. Scheib took three shots, two shots on the goal and made two goals, including the winning point.

Saturday, Sept. 7, the Blue Jays were at it again. They took a 1-0 overtime loss against Muhlenberg College. The only score of the game came from Muhlenberg player Maleah Hess in overtime play.

The game was tied at 0-0 for the first four regular game play periods. An overtime was called and the single point was made four minutes into the overtime period. Etown excelled in shots with nine compared to Muhlenberg’s three, and the Blue Jays made three of the nine shots in the overtime. Etown also led in corner kicks 11-3, but this wasn’t good enough to take down Muhlenberg’s tough defense.

Saturday, Sept. 21 the Blue Jays will be back on Wolf Field to compete against Stockton University starting at 2 p.m.
