Box score

OWINGS MILLS, Md. - A penalty stroke by McDaniel's Amanda Pickard with 15:42 remaining in the game proved to be the game-winner, breaking a scoreless tie and snapping the Green Terror's three-game losing streak in a 2-0 victory over Stevenson Sunday afternoon at Caves Athletics Complex.

Meanwhile, the loss snapped a two-game win streak for the Mustangs (2-3) and was just their fifth in the last 12 games at home.

After an uneventful first half in which both teams combined for just six shots and six penalty corners, McDaniel stepped up the offensive pressure in the second, outshooting Stevenson 8-4 while holding a 7-4 advantage in penalty corners.

However, the Mustang defense would withstand seven consecutive penalty corners in the first 20 minutes before an illegal touch on a defensive save was whistled against Stevenson, awarding a penalty stroke to the Green Terror.

Pickard converted the penalty stroke for her third goal of the season, beating Mustang junior Kara Zimmerman (Odenton/Arundel) in the upper left.

McDaniel would add an insurance goal by Kaitlin Boerman that was assisted by Jessica Largent in with less than eight minutes remaining.

The Mustangs would get three penalty corners in the final six minutes, but neither of their two shots would reach the cage.

Zimmerman finished with two saves while counterpart Stephanie Thomson also had two.

Stevenson travels to York (Pa.) on Thursday for a CAC contest beginning at 4:00 p.m.
