EAST STROUDSBURG, Pa. — The No. 5-ranked Kutztown University field hockey team topped sixth-ranked East Stroudsburg with a 3-2 overtime win Saturday afternoon in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference East game.

The visiting Golden Bears (11-2, 3-2 PSAC East) got an unassisted game-winning goal by Kelley Healey (sr. Toms River, N.J./Toms River North) at the 76:19 mark.

The Warriors (8-5. 3-2 PSAC East) jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first half, with goals from Monica Gombita, the first off a penalty corner and the second on a penalty stroke.

KU pulled even with back-to-back two goals from Lyndsay Butler (sr. Annandale, N.J./Summit). The first goal came off a penalty corner from Healey mid-way through the second half.

The unassisted, game-tying goal by Butler was scored at the 54:22 mark, eventually sending the game into overtime.

The Golden Bears outshot their opponent 19-9 and held the advantage in penalty corners 24-6.

KU will return to action in a PSAC East matchup with Millersville at 7 p.m. Wednesday at University Field.
