Highlander Field Hockey Rounds Up Mustang's, 4-0

MORRISVILLE, N.Y. The women's field hockey team wasted little time today rounding up NCAA Div. III opponent Morrisville State Mustangs, 4-0. The women improve to 7-9 for the season.

The Highlanders had four players in the scoring column today. Sarah Buckwalter (Lititz, PA/ Lancaster) and Ashley Hoffman (Webster, NY/Webster) each led the way with a goal and an assist this afternoon.

Carissa Lang (Pittsford, NY/ Pittsford) and Jenny Huyett (Stevens, PA/ Garden Spot) also added goals for the Highlanders.

The Highlanders have proven to be tough competition, winning three straight against the Mustangs. Morrisville State is still relatively new to the arena as it enters its second year as a provisional member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), Division III.

The Highlanders will return home next in a rematch against Morrisville State on October 26. Game time is scheduled for 4 pm.
