No. 3 Kutztown 3, East Stroudsburg 2  
BOXSCORE

KUTZTOWN, Pa. — Anne Waapu (r-fr. Hastings, NEW ZEALAND) helped the Kutztown University field hockey team tie the game twice and scored the game-winner in the Golden Bears’ 3-2 come-from-behind victory over East Stroudsburg Saturday at University Field.

Waapu scored twice off of corners, blasting shots from the top of the circle past East Stroudsburg keeper Carolyn Kisling, and tallied an assist.

KU (16-2, 10-2 PSAC), ranked No. 3 in the nation, trailed 1-0 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference game at half, but Waapu fired a shot toward the cage and Tristin Ludy (sr. Pottstown/Pottsgrove) deflected it in to tie the game at the 43:36 mark.

East Stroudsburg (6-10, 3-9 PSAC) retook the lead five minutes later when Monica Gombita pushed in a rebound for the 2-1 lead.

Five minutes later, Waapu tied it at 2 off a corner, taking the pass from Alyssa Maltese (so. Hackettstown, N.J./Hackettstown).

A nearly identical play gave KU the 3-2 lead, as Maltese passed the ball to Waapu, who settled the ball and blazed another shot in on Kisling.

East Stroudsburg applied much of the pressure in the first half, totaling 10 corners in the first 35 minutes. KU, however, outshot East Stroudsburg 21-8.

Waapu now has nine goals on the season, and KU as a team, has scored 39 of its 63 goals in the second half.

KU travels to Mansfield for a 4 p.m. PSAC contest Wednesday before returning home for the final game of the regular season, a 7 p.m. PSAC matchup against No. 2 Bloomsburg Saturday at University Field.
