Defense records sixth shutout for Blue Jays in win at Drew

MADISON, N.J. -- The Elizabethtown College field hockey team recorded its sixth shutout of the season in 12 games and the Blue Jays extended their win streak to seven games at blanking Drew on the road, 4-0, Saturday afternoon. Olivia Beachley had her second career multi-goal game and Madison Kubik and Maggie Fees also scored for the Jays in the win.

As they did against Wilkes this past Wednesday, Elizabethtown (10-2, 3-0 Landmark) scored early on in the game. Beachley inserted a corner and Emily Garvin sent the ball back toward the left post where Beachley was and the junior put it in for her fifth goal of the season to make it 1-0 Blue Jays less than two minutes into the game.

A little over four minutes later, Kubik capitalized for E-town on the team's second penalty corner of the afternoon. Fees' shot was blocked, but Kubik took the rebound from around the right post and scored her first goal of the year to make it 2-0 at 6:05.

Drew (1-10, 0-3 Landmark) also had a pair of penalty corners in the first 12 minutes, but the two shots they took were wide of the mark.

The Blue Jays kept Rangers' goalie Ryann Callaghan, the Landmark leader in saves, busy for much of the first half. Callaghan made eight of her 13 saves in the first 35 minutes.

Elizabethtown continued to bear down on Drew's goal and eventually cracked through for a third. It was Fees scoring on a fast break chance for the Jays, her fourth of the season to extend her goal-scoring streak to three consecutive games. Beachley tacked on her second of the game late on in the contest. Fees took a shot off another E-town corner that Renee Grill tipped to Beachley, who punched it in from the doorstep on the left side of the cage.

The defense only allowed three shots and one on goal that Margo Donlin saved. The shot total for Drew tied for the fewest Elizabethtown has allowed this season since the opening game at Frostburg State. Elizabethtown outshot Drew, 24-3, and had 16 penalty corners to only three for the Rangers.

The Blue Jays will host Moravian on Wednesday, October 10, at 4 p.m.
