Quakers start season in Kentucky

September 3, 2005
LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Earlham College field hockey squad opened its season on Saturday with a 4-0 loss at Transylvania.

Despite the loss, Earlham coach Jill Butcher was optimistic. “We made a number of mistakes defensively,” she said. “But if we continue to improve, we’ll be O.K. I saw a lot of promise for such a young squad.”

Earlham goalie Anna Benfield (Takoma Park, MD/Montgomery Blair) recorded 14 saves as Transylvania out shot the Quakers 17-11.

Earlham (0-1) returns to action on Sunday with the second contest in Kentucky at Centre College.
