SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – The Skidmore College field hockey team stunned nationally seventh-ranked Babson College on Thursday with a 2-1 overtime victory. Senior Carrie Hughes scored both goals for the Thoroughbreds and sophomore goalie Victoria Bodnar posted a career high 11 saves.

•  All three goals in the game were scored on penalty corners.
• Skidmore (5-2) took a 1-0 lead at the 40:44 mark when Carly Shea played the insert to Hughes, whose shot deflected off a Babson (4-3) defender's stick on the way in.
• Babson scored the equalizer with 4:02 remaining in regulation. On a Beaver penalty corner, newly inserted Meara Hanyon sent a pass across to Brianna McGrath on the right wing to set up the shot through traffic.
