The field hockey team aimed to bounce back this season after coming off of a disappointing season in fall 2017\u00a0when the Dutchmen ended their season 6-12.<\/p>\n

This season didn\u2019t start out as the players would have liked as the team started out with three consecutive losses, but since then the Dutchmen has won four of the last five games and have outscored their opponents 17 to 4.\u00a0 The team’s current record is 4-4.<\/p>\n

Tori ByDeLey, a senior goalkeeper, boasts a .810 save percentage so far this season. She faced 78 shots this season and only let in 11.<\/p>\n

In scoring, the team is led by Cecile Kat, a sophomore forward, who has 12 goals, 5 assists, 43 shots on goal and 29 points. Kat led the team in scoring last year with 9 goals, as a freshman. Kat is an international student from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. This summer, the entire team spent 10 days in The Netherlands and Germany to explore the city and also play against club teams from the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur season didn\u2019t start off as we had hoped,\u201d Jenna Lysakowski, a sophomore midfielder, said. \u201cBut I think we are starting to play better as a team. I\u2019m excited to see how the rest of the season plays out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Dutchmen aim to continue their\u00a0streak with their next three games, which are all home at Arnold Field. The team is back in action as they face Immaculata University on Thursday,\u00a0Sept. 27, at 7 p.m.,\u00a0Arcadia University on Saturday, Sept. 29, at 6 p.m. and Lancaster Bible College on Wednesday, Oct. 3, at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
