Field Hockey Team Goes Down, 3-1

(Greensburg, Pa.)—The Houghton College field hockey team lost 3-1 at Seton Hill Saturday afternoon, dropping its record to 2-4.

            The women got behind in the 21st minute when Holly Thomas scored for the Griffins, but the defenses stiffened and that was the only scoring of the first half.

            In the second half, Seton Hill padded its lead with 24:32 left to play when Melanie Benson scored on an assist from Anne Williams.

            Just two minutes later the Highlanders scored to pull close at 2-1.

            However, the Griffins put the game away at (what time>??) when Krista Archambeau scored on a pass from Natasha Pedzik.

            Houghton hosts Mercyhurst on Tuesday, September 18.


 

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.
