REHOBOTH, MA -- Freshman Molly Cohen scored two goals to lead Union to a 3-1 non-league field hockey win at Wheaton Sunday afternoon. The Lyons fall to 3-13 on the season while the Dutchwomen improve to 7-8 overall.
Cohen's goals came in the first half just 17 seconds apart to give the visitors a 2-0 lead at the break. Andrea Winn deposited her second goal of the season at the 41:58 mark on a feed from Sarah McNicholas outside of the circle. Dutchwomen junior forward Allison Troy capped the scoring with her fifth goal of the year at 48:33.
Cohen put the Dutchwomen on the scoreboard first at the 29:18 mark as she beat a Lyons defender in the circle and snapped a shot into the lower right corner of the cage for a 1-0 advantage. Seventeen seconds later, Cohen gathered a loose ball outside of the circle, sprinted into the scoring area and blasted a low shot across the cage into the lower left corner for her second goal of the season.
In the second half, McNicholas engineered Wheaton's lone marker in the contest with a sharp pass to Winn near the left post from about 10-yards outside the circle that was redirected in.
Molly McCune turned away three shots in 67 minutes and 11-seconds of action while backup Corey Hedges was not tested in two minutes and 49-seconds of play. Lyons goaltender Ellie Massengil made a game-high 12 saves, six in each half.
Union outshot Wheaton, 19-6, on the afternoon while the Lyons won the corners matchup, 10-8.
The Dutchwomen play at Oneonta Friday and host Liberty League rival Vassar Saturday at 2 p.m. for Senior Day at Frank Bailey Field.
