Penalty stroke results in only goal against Quakers

September 14, 2005
DELAWARE, Ohio — A goal on a penalty stroke early in the second half was the difference Wednesday afternoon as the Earlham College field hockey squad dropped a 1-0 decision to Ohio Wesleyan University. “I thought we played better,” Earlham coach Jill Butcher said. “Our defense stepped up and got the ball out of the circle.”

The Bishops out shot the Quakers 11-4 in the North Coast Athletic Conference contest and goalie Anna Benfield (Takoma Park, MD/Montgomery Blair) had six saves. The penalty stroke was awarded 48 seconds into the second period because the Quakers had an illegal stop of a shot inside the circle.
