Explosive Offense Helps Johnson To School Record 20th Win

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Cornel field hockey team had three different players register four goals and goalkeeper Kelly Johnson made two saves to earn the 20th win of her career, as the Big Red defeated Lock Haven 4-0. Johnson's win eclipsed the school record, previously held by Alex Botte '12, Kaitlin Tierney '04 and Yanaka Bernal '91.
 
Cornell (4-2) took just nine shots on the day, but made the most of its opportunities by putting seven of those shots on goal and scoring on over half of those chances. The Big Red held Lock Haven to just six shots overall, and had the 5-3 edge in penalty corners.
 
Lady Eagles' goalie Paige Stuppy made three saves and allowed three goals in 46:08 before giving way to Brianna Deangelis who allowed the final goal of the day without making a save.
 
The Big Red wasted no time getting on the board, as Katie Carlson received a pass from Krysten Mayers and beat Stuppy to the near post to make it 1-0 at the 6:02 mark.  
 
The game went into the half with Cornell up, 1-0, but the Big Red's offense exploded in the second half, including consecutive goals by Mayers and Carlson in a span of under three minutes. Mayers' goal came on an impressive individual effort, while Carlson scored off a great pass form Katy Weeks.
 
Weeks also assisted on the final goal of the day when she found Gabby DePetro in the center of the circle in the 63rd minute to account for the 4-0 final.
 
Cornell opens Ivy League play when it welcomes Penn to Marshal Dodson Field on Saturday, Sept. 24 at noon. The following day, the Big Red will hold a Lace Up 4 Pediatric Cancer fundraiser when it plays host to Vermont on Sunday, Sept. 25 at 1 p.m.
