Houghton Field Hockey Team Falls to Seton Hill, 3-1

(Greensburg, Pa.)—The Houghton College field hockey team lost to Seton Hill University, 3-1, Saturday afternoon.

“We just could not put the ball in the cage,” said Rachael Allison, Houghton’s head coach.

The Griffins got the first two, but then Cala Galioto (pictured) scored on an assist from Jenny Huyett to draw it back to 2-1 at halftime.

“We outshot them, we outhustled them, and we just could not finish,” said Allison. The Highlanders outshot Seton Hill, 37-14, and had 13 penalty corners to seven for the Griffins.

The Highlanders could not break through in the second half, and it was Seton Hill that added an insurance goal to make the final, 3-1.

Houghton’s goalkeeper had seven saves and Seton Hill’s made 27.

Houghton, now 5-4, will host SUNY Geneseo on Wednesday, at 4 p.m.
