ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. -- It was another tight-knit game for the Elizabethtown College field hockey team, but the Blue Jays pulled off their second straight shootout victory, 2-1, over Swarthmore on Wednesday in non-conference action. Margo Donlin did not allow a goal in the shootout and Olivia Beachley scored on the final attempt to lift E-town to its 10th straight win.

Normally the ones to score first, Elizabethtown (13-2) looked certain to do the same in the opening minutes. A pair of penalty corners led to chances for both Lauren Scheib and Olivia Beachley. Their shots, coming off separate corners, were stopped along the goal line by Emily Hapgood and the game remained scoreless.

Swarthmore (5-9) took the lead in the fourth minute on their first shot of the game. The ball was loose around the cage and Ali Baratta got her stick in among many others and was able to poke it into the cage to put the Garnet up 1-0 just 3:33 in.

The visitors had the better of play for large portions of the first half. While the Garnet searched for a second, Donlin denied them at every opportunity. She made back-to-back saves on Marion Carr and Baratta in the 23rd minute. Halsey Hutchinson and Baratta were stopped consecutively then in the 30th minute. Swarthmore led 1-0 at the half.

Scheib was inches away right out of the break to putting Elizabethtown into a 1-1 tie, but her shot bounced off the left post. The play started with one of E-town's 17 second-half penalty corners.

The Blue Jays ratcheted up the intensity and pressure as the second half moved along as they had Swarthmore pinned back on their own end and continued accumulating corner opportunities.

Almost a half minute after Emily Garvin's shot could have tied up the game, it was Grace Hardy's that did. Hardy had inserted the corner and during the play, a shot from out top was knocked down near goal. The ball trickled toward the goal and as Garnet defenders and goalie Zelda Bank tried to clear it away, Hardy stepped up and knocked it into the cage to make it a 1-1 game in the 59th minute.

Hardy was close to having a second goal two minutes later, but Riya Garg made another defensive save for Swarthmore at the right post. Bank made four saves over the final ten minutes and just as Saturday's game with Scranton went, overtime was needed.

Both sides had corner chances in each overtime session, but no goals were scored and it was a second straight shootout for Elizabethtown.

Donlin did not allow any of the Swarthmore shooters to score. It came down to Beachley, who was the final shooter of the five with a chance to win it for E-town. On the whistle, Beachley came directly at the goal and from a little above the penalty stroke spot, wristed the ball that went five-hole on the goalie and into the cage to lift the Jays over the Garnet, 2-1.

The win was the 10th in a row, the program's longest win streak since reeling off 14 in a row in 1986.

Elizabethtown heads to Towson, Md. on Saturday, October 20, at 1 p.m. to face Goucher in a Landmark Conference matchup with the Gophers.
