Schnectady, NY - The Union College field hockey team got back on track with a 1-0 overtime win over Worcester Polytechnic Institute in non-conference action at College Park Field Saturday afternoon. The Dutchwomen improve to 2-2, while WPI falls to 5-1 with its first loss on the season.

Union College freshman Alison Krywanczyk (Essex Junction, VT) knocked in the game-winner just 24 seconds into overtime as she collected a pass from senior captain Hillary Benoit (Sudbury, MA) and sent the ball into the open left side of the net.

Union College goaltender Elise Wakeland (Arundel, ME) made five saves for her first shutout of the season. WPI netminder Betsy Ray (Simsbury, CT) stopped one shot in the loss.

Union held a 4-3 shot advantage through the first half, but WPI came out firing in the second half, outshooting the Dutchwomen, 5-2. Sophomore Nicole Maglione (Charlton, MA) led WPI with four shots, three of which were on net.

The Dutchwomen are back in action on Wednesday, September 20, when they host Utica for a 4pm game at Frank Bailey Field. WPI hosts Worcester State on Tuesday, September 19, for a 4:30pm game.
