FIELD HOCKEY DEFEATED BY F&M

The Muhlenberg field hockey came from behind once, but could not do it again and fell to Franklin & Marshall, 2-1, at Scotty Wood Stadium.

After a scoreless first half, the Mules (11-6, 3-5) allowed a goal early in the second.

A postponed and displaced matchup between two regionally ranked women’s soccer teams ended in a big zero as Muhlenberg and Moravian played to a scoreless tie.

The game was rained out on Monday, then moved to J. Birney Crum Stadium in Allentown after rain pelted the Moravian soccer field again on Wednesday. By prior arrangement, there was no overtime played.

Although each team got off seven shots, there were no serious scoring chances until 11 minutes remained, when Mule goalie Kayla Boisvert saved a headed corner kick off the crossbar.

It was the first scoreless tie since 1995 for the Mules (12-3-2), who had their winning streak snapped at eight. The Greyhounds (9-2-4), ranked eighth in the Mid-Atlantic Region, played their fourth 0-0 tie of the season.

The schools split the Matte Award point, leaving the standings tied at 2½-2½.
