Box Score
RICHMOND, Ind. — A pair of scores in the second half made the difference Saturday afternoon as the Earlham College field hockey finished second in the Kookaburra Classic.
Transylvania captured the tournament championship with a 2-0 win over the Quakers on Comstock Field. St. Vincent College defeated Trine University 2-0 earlier in the day during the consolation match.
"For the first year of the tournament, it was a success," Earlham Head Coach Jill Butcher said. "All of the teams want to come back next year and we had a great sponsor."
As far as the match against Transylvania was concerned Butcher was hoping for a little bit more success.
"I feel like we just were not connecting well," she said. "We just seemed a little slow and we need to get more aggressive."
Transylvania had a 14-7 edge in shots and 10-5 advantage in penalty corners.
Earlham goalkeeper
Emma Treece (Kettering, OH, Kettering Fairmont) had 10 saves for the Quakers.
The Quakers (1-1) are back on Comstock Field Wednesday against Wittenberg University. The North Coast Athletic Conference affair gets underway at 5 p.m.
