FH: Eastern Conn. rallies past Panthers

MANSFIELD, Conn. – Sophomore Emma Revaz (New Boston, N.H.) notched her first career goal, but Eastern Connecticut State University rallied in the fourth quarter to slip past Plymouth State University, 4-1, in a Little East Conference (LEC) field hockey game at Rick McCarthy Field on Wednesday afternoon.
 
Revaz gave PSU an early lead that held through the first half, but the Warriors tied the score early in the third quarter before using three fourth-quarter goals to earn the win.
 
Plymouth State was playing for the first time since November 2019, while ECSU opened its season last week.
 
The Panthers fall to 0-1 (0-1 LEC), while Eastern Connecticut improves to 2-0 (2-0 LEC).
 
The Basics:
  • Plymouth State 1, Eastern Connecticut St. 4
    • Plymouth State (0-1, 0-1 LEC)
    • Eastern Connecticut St. (2-0, 2-0 LEC)
Top Performers: How it Happened:
  • Junior Jess Mezquita (Atkinson, N.H.) had the game's first scoring chance just over six minutes into play, but her attempt was blocked.
  • Revaz capitalized four minutes later when she took a feed from freshman Sydney Spenard (Manchester, N.H.) and slipped it past the Warriors' goalie through traffic on the left side.
  • PSU earned its first penalty corner in the second, but again the Panthers' shot was blocked. Eastern Connecticut mustered a pair of shots on goal during the quarter, but freshman Kayla Antonucci (Windham, N.H.) stopped them both to keep Plymouth State in front.
  • The Warriors pulled even six minutes into the third quarter when a pass from the right side found an ECSU player at the left post.
  • The hosts went ahead early in the fourth quarter, then added a pair of insurance tallies over the next five minutes to secure the win.
By the Numbers:
  • PSU pressured the Warriors through the first 30 minutes, but Eastern Connecticut limited the Panthers' offense in the second half. ECSU held a 6-5 advantage in shots between the first two quarters but outshot PSU 7-1 between the third and fourth.
  • Plymouth State earned three of its four penalty corners in the fourth quarter but was unable to cash in.
  • Antonucci finished with two saves while playing the second and fourth quarters, while freshman Jaycie Ritter (Salem, N.H.) recorded one save in the odd-numbered quarters.
Up Next:
  • Plymouth State is off until April 11th, when the same two teams will meet for a 1:00 p.m. non-conference game on Panther Field. It will be the program's first game played on campus since capturing the 2014 ECAC New England Championship.
