MADISON, N.J. (Sept. 13, 2016) – The Drew University field hockey team played a scoreless opening 22 minutes against the No. 8 ranked College of New Jersey before succumbing to a 5-0 final score on Tuesday evening at Ranger Stadium.
 
By the Numbers: The Lions, who were ranked as high as No. 3 by the NFCHA National Poll this season, improve to 3-1. Drew falls to 1-4.
 
Top Performers: Sophomore goalkeeper Ryann Callaghan faced 40 shots – 31 of which were shot on goal - in the setback. For the second time this season, she recorded a new career high in saves with 26 on Tuesday, ranking second all-time for a single game in Drew history. Callaghan's name now graces that top-10 category in the record book four times.
 
The save that sticks out is a sprawling stop of a penalty stroke by the Lions' Lexi Smith in the second half. Callaghan's lightning fast reaction allowed her to get a pad on the hard shot that was destined for the upper right corner of the cage. Incredibly, just 1:27 later, Callaghan stuffed Smith again on another penalty stroke.
   
Turning Point: Callaghan and the Drew defense handled the TCNJ pressure early, turning away shots and breaking up passes in the arch. The Lions finally broke through in the 23^rd minute before tacking on two more before halftime.
 
Up Next: The Rangers hit the road for a non-conference match at Delaware Valley University on Saturday, Sept. 17 at 1:00 p.m.
