No. 23 Field Hockey Opens Season with 4-0 Shutout of No. 12 Kean

UNION, N.J. – The nationally ranked No. 23 Ithaca College field hockey team made a statement win to get the 2024 season underway as the Bombers defeated No. 12 Kean University, 4-0, in Alumni Stadium on August 30. Ithaca was 0-2 all-time against Kean and was outscored by the Cougars, 6-0, in those meetings. The win also marks IC's highest victory over a nationally ranked opponent since defeating No. 5 Vassar in 2019.

IC earned the first corner of the game at the 8:31 mark of the first quarter. The Bombers took two shots off that opportunity, one of which was saved, but another corner was awarded, and a third shot attempt was turned away. Another whistle ensued to give IC a third corner chance and the Bombers cashed in as Brenna Schoenfeld redirected a pass from Eliza Ballaro to give IC a 1-0 lead with 7:45 to go.
 

The Bombers outshot Kean, 6-3, in the opening 15 minutes of action.

There was not much offensive action in the second period as there was just one shot and corner attempt, both from Kean.

Ithaca extended its lead to 2-0 just over one minute into the third quarter as a corner from Schoenfeld was inserted to Emma Garver at the top of the circle and her shot scooted past the Kean goalkeeper with 13:45 on the clock.
 

IC put the game away in the fourth quarter, 3-0, after Kean was issued a card to go a player down. The Bombers earned a corner and Brady Sullivan deflected a pass from Brooke Snider into a wide-open goal for the insurance tally just 51 seconds into the period.



The Bombers put home their fourth goal of the contest with 8:31 to go in regulation as Snider capitalized on a pass from Bella McCollister. The goal started on IC's sixth corner of the contest.

Kean had a golden opportunity to get on the board with less than six minutes left, but Reese Abrahamson came up with a defensive save to keep the game at 4-0.

Maeve Clark won her first game with the program as she made two saves on the day.

IC outshot Kean, 12-9, and held a 6-5 edge in corners.

The Bombers are home on Sunday, September 1 against St. John Fisher at 1 p.m.
