BOXSCORE

KUTZTOWN, Pa. — Kelley Healey (sr. Toms River, N.J./Toms River North) kick-started the offense in the second half for the Kutztown University field hockey team in a 5-1 win over Millersville University Wednesday at University Field.

Healey’s goal at the 36:55 mark broke the 1-1 tie and was one of four second-half goals for the fourth-ranked Golden Bears in the second half of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference East contest.

Lyndsay Butler (sr. Annandale, N.J./Summit) scored twice in the contest, including the game’s first goal in the 10th minute.

Millersville found the equalizer about six minutes later when Krista Testa scored on a pass from Amie Mowery.

That was it for Millersville (4-8, 0-6 PSAC East), however, as Emily Falko (fr. Catasauqua/Catasauqua) made five save to hold the Marauders to just one tally.

With 16:12 remaining in the game, Butler gave the Golden Bears (12-2, 4-2 PSAC East) some breathing room, scoring unassisted to make it 3-1.

Abbey Sheeler (so. Fleetwood/Brandywine Heights) scored in the 66th minute and Jennifer Belfatti (sr. Hatfield/Lansdale Catholic) scored on a penalty stroke in the 68th minute to make it 5-1.

Julie Rosenkaimer (fr. Lansdale/North Penn) assisted on Sheeler’s goal.

KU, which moved up to No. 3 in the region, outshot Millersville 23-6.

The Golden Bears will return to University Field at 7 p.m. Saturday for a PSAC crossover against Indiana (Pa.), the No. 1-ranked team in Division II.
