Providence, R.I. - The Providence College Field Hockey team defeated Colgate University Sunday at Hendricken Field, 5-1.

The Friars jumped ahead early when senior forward Carrie Leoncavallo (Bellingham, MA) scored unassisted with 30:49 left in the first half. Twenty seconds later freshman midfielder Lyndsey Brooks (Brewster, NY) added her first collegiate goal to give PC a 2-0 lead. Colgate fought back to cut the lead to 2-1 when junior Johanna Harvey scored unassisted. Freshman midfielder Courtney Dow (Hampstead, NH), assisted by junior midfielder Amy DePietro (Southbury, CT), gave the Friars a 3-1 advantage at halftime with her first collegiate goal.

In the second half Leoncavallo and senior foward Erica Hebert (Enfield, CT) each scored unassisted to put Providence ahead 5-1. Junior goalkeeper Heather Tattersall (Bethlehem, NH), making her first start of the season, allowed just one goal on eleven shots while collecting four saves.
