With two wins in a row against Moravian College and the University of Scranton, the Elizabethtown College field hockey team is now at a nine-win streak.

On the road to the Landmark Conference Championships, the Blue Jays got a second straight score of 4-0 against Moravian.

Junior Lauren Scheib took the first shot for Etown early in the game Wednesday, Oct. 10. Senior Maggie Fees, who has been awarded the Landmark Conference Offensive Player of the Week, made a pass to first-year Grace Hardy, who made the goal.

Hardy, Fees and junior Olivia Beachley scored the other three goals. Overall, the Blue Jays held an advantage against Moravian in shot attempts at 19-2 and shots on goal at 12-2. They also had 15 corners to Moravian’s three.

Senior goalkeeper Margo Donlin, who is the three-time reigning Landmark Conference Defensive Athlete of the Week, had a two-save shutout, making it her seventh of the season and second during a Landmark game.

In the game against Scranton, Donlin helped the Blue Jays win in a 2-1 match. The important play came at the end of the game when Donlin stopped a shot from the Royals.

To come away with the win, a shootout was necessary. Sophomore Brooke Zehr was the second shooter for Etown, making it tied at 1-1. Scranton missed the fourth try so the fifth shot by the Blue Jays won the game.

The Blue Jays are now 5-0 in the Landmark Conference and have home advantage for the semifinals. Their next game will be Saturday, Oct. 20 at Goucher College.
