BURLINGTON, Vt. – The Big Red field hockey team dropped its second consecutive 2-0 decision, as it fell to Catamount Invitational champion Maine this afternoon at Moulton Winder Field in Burlington, Vt. With the loss, Cornell evens its record at 2-2, while Maine improves to 6-1.

The senior-laden Black Bear team was held well-below its 5.6 goals per game average, thanks in great deal to sophomore goalkeeper Carolyn Horner, who turned away 14 shots.

Maine held the significant advantage in shots (27-9), shots on goal (16-2) and penalty corners (10-4) and goalie Brittany Fleck needed to make just two saves to earn the victory.

Annabelle Hamilton put the Black Bears on the board in the third minute of the game on a penalty corner. Assists were credited to Zoe Adkins and Kelly Newton. Maine then capped the scoring in the 43rd minute of the contest when Lelia Sacre converted a penalty stroke.

For their efforts in yesterday's contest with Vermont and today's game with Maine, Horner and sophomore Hannah Balleza were named to the all-tournament team.

The Big Red opens Ivy League play next weekend as it travels to Philadelphia to face Penn on Saturday, Sept. 17 at noon. The team returns home the following day to face St. Francis (Pa.) in a non-conference game on Marsha Dodson Field at 4 p.m.
