Field Hockey Wins In Overtime Off Sandhu Goal at Hamilton

Box Score CLINTON, N.Y. – Manveer Sandhu scored with under a minute to play in overtime to hand the Bowdoin field hockey team a 1-0 win over Hamilton on Saturday afternoon.
 
The Polar Bears climb to 8-3 on the season and 4-3 in NESCAC action. The Continentals are 7-4 (3-4 NESCAC).
 
Game Highlights
  • Goalies for both teams kept their respective sides in the game throughout play, making multiple point-blank saves.
  • Midway through the first quarter, Maddie Ferrucci stood her ground and denied a shot by Tracey Stafford from three feet away. The senior goalie set up and waited for Stafford to take a shot from near range, turning the ball away with a play to her right side.
  • Ferrucci made several consecutive saves in the final two minutes of the opening frame, diving to stop the initial shot and stonewalling the subsequent rebounds.
  • A couple minutes into the second quarter, Faith Jennings missed the cage by inches with a cross net shot.
  • Maggie Reville made a composed save on the opposite side against Georgie Coetzer on a corner in the fourth quarter. A rebound kicked out to Coetzer who settled the ball and looked for an open shot. Reville recovered on the angle and made a save on the move.
  • With the game in overtime, Jennings nearly ended it with another spin move just beyond the stroke line. Again, the ball missed just wide.
  • Sandhu provided the overtime spark. Maggie Frederick collected the ball just inside Hamilton's half and fed Sandhu at the dotted line. Sandhu carried a defender into the circle and moved towards stroke. Reville came out to make a play on the ball, but Sandhu reversed a shot through the goalie's legs.
 
By the Numbers
  • Bowdoin held a 19-10 shot advantage. Both teams earned eight corners.
  • Ferrucci made seven saves to earn the shutout.
  • Reville made 13 stops.
 
Up Next
  • Bowdoin plays at Williams tomorrow with a 1:00 p.m. start.
