Sept. 12, 2014

ANN ARBOR, MICH. - The Providence College field hockey team fell to the University of Michigan, 2-0, in Ann Arbor, Mich. on Sept. 12. Michigan extends its home winning streak at Ocker Field to 14-straight games and improves to 3-2 overall, while Providence drops to 2-3.

Shannon Scavelli netted each of the Wolverine's goals in the victory. Her first came in the 16th minute as she tipped in an initial shot taken by Leslie Smith. Smith was credited with the assist. The duo teamed up again in the 46th minute as Scavelli found the back of the cage on another deflection, assisted by Smith.

Michigan out-shot Providence, 9-5, while Providence held the advantage in penalty corners, 5-4, including a 5-1 edge in the second half of play.

"I was extremely pleased with the effort of the entire team tonight against a very good Michigan team," Providence College Head Coach Diane Madl said. "Their work rate from start to finish was the best all season. We will be able to build off of this performance moving forward. Our defense, as a whole, played really solid all game. We have some things to work on, but I'm very encouraged by the progress today."

Senior Deidra Clymer (South Windsor, Conn.) recorded five saves for Providence in goal. Michigan's Sam Swenson stopped three shots in the victory.

The Friars return to action on Sunday, Sept. 14 against Central Michigan. The game will be played at Ocker Field in Ann Arbor, Mich. at 3:00 p.m.
