POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. – The nationally ranked No. 25 Ithaca College field hockey team fell to 0-2 in Liberty League play, and 7-4 overall, with a 1-0 loss at Vassar College on Friday afternoon. The Brewers snapped a four-game losing streak against IC and have now won all four of their matchups against the Bombers by 1-0 outcomes.

IC controlled the pace of play in the first quarter by outshooting Vassar, 4-0, but the Bombers were unable to find the back of the net as two of their attempts were saved. The Bombers earned four corners and took three shots in the final four minutes of the period.

Vassar weathered the pressure from IC and countered with two shots in the second quarter and scored off a corner attempted in the 22nd minute, which proved to be the game-winning goal.

The Bombers avoided further damage in the third stanza as Maeve Clark made four saves to keep things at a 1-0 difference.

IC once again took four shots in the final quarter of play, but only one was on target and was turned away.
