Box Score

MANCHESTER, N.H. – Freshman Emma Farrel (Cheshire, Conn.) registered her first collegiate hat trick in a first half span of 3:27 as the Southern Connecticut State University field hockey team posted a 3-2 win at Southern New Hampshire this evening.

The Owls improved to 3-14 overall and 1-9 in Northeast-10 Conference play. SNHU is 1-16 and 0-10.

The Penmen opened the scoring with a goal from Kaitlyn Ramsey just under eight minutes into play. SNHU held the lead for most of the first half until the Owls unloaded a quick scoring barrage to take the lead for good.

Farrel tied the game on a goal that came off a penalty corner. Bailey McGinnis (North Branford, Conn.) passed to Zoe Fanolis (Hamden, Conn.) in the middle of the circle, who passed to Farrel along the goal line. Farrel then tucked a shot just inside the post to tie the score.


The Owls took the lead for good just 1:56 later on Farrel's second of the night. Alicia Morgan (Stafford, Conn.) fed Lauren Anderson (Cheshire, Conn.), who made a pass down low to Farrel for the goal.


Farrel capped the hat trick just 91 seconds later as she knocked in a feed from Fanolis.

SNHU added a goal in the closing minutes but the Owls hung on for the one-goal win.

Goalie Audrey Dolloff (Raynham, Mass.) made five saves for the Owls in the win.

The Owls close the regular season on Saturday with a home game against St. Michael's.
