Field Hockey Suffers Heartbreaking OT Loss To UC Davis
September 24, 2018 | Field Hockey
MUNCIE, Ind. - The Ball State field hockey team suffered a 5-4 heartbreaking loss to UC Davis in a Monday matinee at the Briner Sports Complex. Â With the loss, the Cardinals fall to 0-8 on the season while the Aggies evened their overall record to 6-6.
Â
Redshirt sophomore Sierra Jefferson scored a quick goal with only 12 seconds shaved off the game clock to give Ball State the early 1-0 edge over UC Davis. Â Both teams played stellar defense for the next 20 minutes of play until redshirt junior Michelle Shampton put the Cardinals up 2-0 with 15 minutes remaining in the first period.
Â
After that, UC Davis found its offensive groove and would score back-to-back goals to even the score at 2-2. Â Junior Haley Jolly scored right before intermission for Ball State to give the Cardinals the 3-2 advantage at the half over the Aggies. Â It marked the first time this season that Ball State had led heading into the second period.
Â
UC Davis then scored quickly to open the second half, tying the game 3-3. After that, it remained a close contest before the Aggies took a 4-3 lead over Ball State with less than 10 minutes to play in regulation. Redshirt sophomore Rachel Pereria came to the Cardinals rescue knotting the score at 4-4 to send the game into overtime.
Â
UC Davis took control over the Cardinals in OT and would quickly score the game winner off of an unassisted goal from the Aggies Eline van den Bosch.
Â
The Ball State field hockey team now heads to North Carolina for two games when the Cardinals face Appalachian State (Sept. 28) at 3 p.m. and University of North Carolina (Sept. 30) at 1 p.m.
