Seven Thoroughbreds score in 11-0 blowout of Russell Sage

ALBANY, NY – A collective offensive effort paved way for the Skidmore College field hockey team to a lopsided 11-0 shutout victory over Russell Sage on Wednesday afternoon. The total marks the most in a game since the program scored a dozen against Castleton back in the 2014 season.  

The Thoroughbreds (7-7) put up a staggering 60 shot attempts as a team against the Gators (1-12) and saw seven different players notch a goal, highlighted by a hat trick from Sophomore Hannah Nash and two-goal performances apiece from senior Brooke Tunnicliffe and freshman Emma Houff.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Skidmore struck twice in the first quarter, with junior Abby Ezickson getting things started with a ninth-minute goal before senior CC Wetter followed up in the 12th minute with a score of her own. Both goals were off the rebound of saved shot attempts.
  • In the second period, Tunnicliffe notched her first goal of the game 1:14 into the quarter before Nash found the back of the net in the 21st minute off an assist from sophomore Catie O'Rourke.
  • The third quarter saw more of the same as sophomore Colby Paul first scored in the 37th minute before Tunnicliffe scored her second goal off in the 40th minute. Senior Beth Yorns rounded out a three-goal quarter for Skidmore with a 43rd-minute goal. Both of the latter two goals were assisted by junior Mia Angwin.
  • The Thoroughbreds closed out the game with a barrage of scores from Nash and Houff in the final period, with Nash securing her hat trick with goals in the 50th and 56th minutes and Houff notching her pair of scores in the 54th and 57th minutes.
STANDOUT THOROUGHBREDS
  • Senior goalie Victoria Bodnar finished with six saves for her eighth career shout and 27th win, which puts her in sole place of fifth all-time in program history. She is also just one save away from tying for third all time at 340.
  • Nash's hat trick marks the first of her career, with all three goals being her first of the season.
  • Houff finished with two goals alongside an assist while placing six of her seven shots on goal.
  • Tunnicliffe's two-score performance marks the second multi-goal game of her career.
  • Angwin's pair of assists is the first multi-assist effort as a Thoroughbred.
  • Wetter's goal pushes to 39 career goals and 90 career points.
  • Paul placed nine shots on goal to go with her goal.
UP NEXT
The Thoroughbreds are back in action Friday to take on William Smith in a road conference matchup. The game is set for a 4 PM start time.
