SELLINSGROVE, Pa. (9/6/15) – The Kean University field hockey team topped Wilkes University 2-1 on Sunday to capture the program's third-straight Connie Harnum Classic Championship on Sunday. Seniors Marissa Robinson and Chelsea Mann provided the offense for the Cougars.

Robinson struck first just five minutes into the game when she put one in off a penalty corner. For the rest of the first half, the teams were scoreless. Kean dominated the opening half; the Cougars outshot Wilkes 10-1 in the first 35 minutes but could not pad their lead.

As the second period began, Teresa Carr set up Mann (pictured left) for what turned out to be the game-winning goal. Again, the Cougars scored nearly five minutes after play began in the half.

It turned out to be a big one, as the Lady Colonels came up with a goal with less than four minutes to go in the game to get within striking distance. Alysa Adams scored with an assist from Haley Gayoski to cut the Kean lead back to one.

Wilkes went from earning just one penalty corner in the first half to 13 in the second period. The Colonels also outshot the Cougars 11-9 in the final 35 minutes, but goalie Katie DiCarlo refused to surrender the lead and made seven second-half stops.

The Cougars will return home on Wednesday to host Vassar College at 7 p.m.
