OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Five different players scored a point as the Stevenson University field hockey team used a total team effort to pick up their sixth win of the season, 3-1 over Hood Wednesday evening at the Caves Complex.

The win gives the Mustangs (6-6, 2-2 CAC) their most wins in a season since the team went 6-13 in 2002. The school record for wins in a season is nine set in 1997 and 2000.

The story of the game was in the first half where Stevenson built a 2-0 lead, outshooting the Blazers 7-0 while holding an 8-0 edge in penalty corners.

Senior Krissy Leventis (Baltimore/Lutheran), who entered the game ranked sixth in the CAC in goals, picked up her team-leading seventh of the season just over nine minutes in when she redirected a loose ball in front of the net.

The Mustangs would hold a one-goal advantage until senior Cat Connelly (Fallston/Fallston), the CAC's leader in assists with six, picked up her second goal of the year off an assist from junior Sarah Bauer (Baltimore/Perry Hall) with just 1:22 remaining in the half.

Freshman Kelli Battista (Elkridge/Long Reach) then scored off an assist from high school teammate, freshman Jorden Haney (Elkridge/Long Reach), with just under 10 minutes left in the game to give Stevenson a commanding a 3-0 lead.

Hood (1-6, 0-2 CAC) would break-up the Mustangs' bid for the shutout with just 31 seconds remaining when Brandy Noel scored her team-leading third goal on a pass from Crystal Parker.

Parker also had two defensive saves for the Blazers.

Sophomore Kara Zimmerman (Odenton/Arundel) was required to make just one save in picking up her sixth win in goal for Stevenson while Jen Lacy stopped three shots for Hood.

The Mustangs return to action Saturday when they host Lebanon Valley in a non-conference contest beginning at noon.
