Highlanders Field Hockey Shut Out by Tigers, 2-0

 

Springfield, Oh.—The Houghton Highlanders field hockey team was shut out by the Wittenberg University Tigers here this afternoon, 2-0.  Although the Highlanders offense did generate 12 shots on the Tigers, tough goaltending kept the Highlanders off the scoreboard.

 

The Highlanders found themselves with numerous opportunities in the first half, out-shooting the Tigers, 9-6.  In the second half, the Tigers out-shot the Highlanders, 4-3. The Tigers were able to capitalize on two of their shots, and that was the difference in today’s match.

 

The Highlanders, now 2-7-0, play at SUNY Geneseo on Wednesday, September 26 at 4:30 PM.

 

Houghton College has deep and solid roots in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, where our teams use their commitment to excellence, both on the field-of-play and in the classroom, as a platform for their strong and unique emphasis on Sports Ministry. Their goal is to make a difference for the Kingdom on campus, in Allegany County, in the Northeast and around the world.  Houghton is one of only 13 institutions who have been hand-selected by the NAIA to serve as "Champions of Character" Program Centers, opening the door for Houghton to be a leader, both in the Northeast and nationally, in character education. Through hands-on, innovative community outreach initiatives, Houghton coaches and student-athletes are working together to change the culture of sport and to change our culture through sport.
