Box Score MADISON, N.J. (September 19, 2013) – After a nine-day layoff, the Drew University field hockey team picked up right where it left off with a 3-1 victory over in-state foe, William Paterson (4-3) this evening at Ranger Stadium. The Rangers remain unbeaten on the season, moving to 5-0.

Senior Brooke Gagliano (Freehold, N.J./Freehold Twp.) had a hand in all three goals, scoring two and assisting on the game-winner. Sophomore Sam Barcia (Berlin, N.J./Eastern) scored her Landmark Conference leading, ninth goal of the season. Although not seeing much action, goalkeeper CC Carlini (Amherst, N.H./Bishop Guertin) was credited with her 35^th career win, tying her for the most in school history with Tara Connelly C'04.

The scoring came in bunches and began in the 21^st minute. Gagliano registered her first of the night when she won a ball in the circle and beat the pioneer goalkeeper to the right side of the cage, giving Drew a 1-0 advantage.

William Paterson knotted the game up at one a little over four minutes later when Jacqui Giammetta slid a pass to the far left post to a waiting Brianne Cox. The goal was her team-leading eighth of the season. The goal would be the last shot for the Pioneer offense for the rest of the game.

The Rangers responded with the eventual game-winner just 51 seconds later when Gagliano carried a ball down the right side and centered the ball to Barcia for the second goal of the night. Drew took a 2-1 lead into the half, taking eight more shots than the Pioneers.

The Drew defense clamped down over the final 35 minutes of play, not allowing a single shot or penalty corner. The Rangers continued the offensive assault, firing 13 shots and attempting 10 penalty corners. Gagliano added the insurance goal off after being awarded a corner with 17:31 remaining in the game. Gagliano blasted a ball off perfectly executed corner play. Senior Danielle Waleko (Wainscott, N.Y./East Hampton) and junior Melissa Boyd (Hellertown, Pa./Saucon Valley) were credited with assists on the goal.

The Rangers will travel down the road to take on cross-street rival FDU on Saturday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. The Devils have been successful of late, winning four of the last five meetings. Drew holds a 24-14-4 advantage all-time against FDU.
