Field Hockey Tops Neumann for Second Straight Win

ASTON, Pa. – Freshman Emma Rider scored the team's first two goals before junior Tyler Olivio netted the game-winner late in the third quarter and the Drew University field hockey squad captured its second straight victory with a 3-2 win at Neumann University in a non-conference tilt Thursday evening.
 
The Rangers (2-2) outshot the Knights 16-5, but a pair of goalies combined for seven saves for Neumann (1-2).
 
Drew never trailed after Rider scored off a deflection on a penalty corner midway through the opening quarter.
 
The Rangers carried their 1-0 lead into the second period, but the Knights tied it up a minute into the quarter and it was a 1-1 game at the half.
 
Drew turned up the heat offensively in the third quarter, when it outshot the hosts 10-1. Rider broke through again with 4:35 left in the stanza, scoring off another corner for her third goal in the last two games. Senior Maxine Lloyd provided the assist.
 
Neumann answered less than two minutes later, scoring on a corner of their own to make it a 2-2 game. But with 1:30 on the clock, Olivio knocked in her own rebound for the fourth goal of her career and her second game-winner.
 
Senior Olyvia Jackson played the entire game in goal for the Rangers.
 
Drew returns to action on Wednesday, when it visits Widener University at 7 p.m. in another non-conference affair.
