10/22/2021 4:48:00 PM | Field Hockey
Asia Porter recorded a career-high 22 saves; Sophia Pompeo tallied both Providence goals.
LYNCHBURG, VA. – The Providence College field hockey team held a 2-0 lead at halftime against No. 9 Liberty on the road, but the Flames' potent offense tied the game in the third (2-2) and eventually scored the go-ahead goal with 51:42 in the fourth quarter.
1ST QUARTER:
• Providence earned its first penalty corner of the day with 6:04 remaining in the first quarter and Sophia Pompeo (Portland, Maine) gave the Friars a 1-0 lead as she tipped in a pass from Niamh Gowing (Dublin, Ireland).
• The Flames earned an offensive corner at the 13:22 mark and peppered Friars' goalkeeper Asia Porter (Somerset, Mass.) with five-consecutive shots – all of which she saved.
• Porter completed the opening 15 minutes with nine saves.
2ND QUARTER:
• Providence maintained its 1-0 lead into halftime despite being outshot 5-0 in the frame.
• Porter collected two saves in the second.
• Liberty was held scoreless through the first two quarters for just the second time this season.
3RD QUARTER:
• Pompeo gave the Friars a 2-0 lead at the 38:21 mark as Marlies Kool (Rosmalen, The Netherlands) fed a ball into her from the top of the circle. Pompeo's shot ricocheted off the Flames' goalkeeper and into the left side of the cage.
• The Flames entered the match as one of the top offenses in the country and tied the game, 2-2, with back-to-back goals by Jill Bolton and Bethany Dykema at 41:15 and 43:55.
4TH QUARTER:
• The Flames kept the pressure on in the fourth a got the go-ahead goal at 51:42 on a penalty corner.
• Maddie Hosler was credited with the goal as she deflected in a feed at the right post from Jodie Connolly.
