ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Senior
Tyler Olivio scored three goals while senior
Lauren Cagliostro contributed one tally as the Drew University field hockey team captured a 4-1 non-conference victory at Cedar Crest College Wednesday evening.
Olivio posted her second career hat trick, as she also scored three goals in a 6-3 victory over Lycoming last season.Â
Â
With the win, the Rangers (4-1) have posted their best five-game start since the 2013 squad began 5-0.
Â
Drew, which held a 25-4 shot advantage, never trailed after Olivio scored less than a minute into the game, converting a feed from sophomore
Emma Rider.
The Falcons (2-3) pulled even with 3:03 left in the opening quarter, but Olivio gave the Rangers the lead for good when she scored just two minutes into the second period off a pass from freshman
Ellie Kopec, and the Blue and Green led 2-1 at the break.
Â
Cagliostro struck just over two minutes into the third quarter, finishing off a pass from Rider during a Ranger corner.
Â
Olivio set the final score when she scored with 3:40 remaining on a pass from graduate student
Hana Johnston.Â
Â
Sophomore
Beth Kelly made three saves for the Rangers.
Â
The Rangers are back in action on Saturday, when they host Widener at noon in another non-league outing.
