Box score

FREDERICK, Md. - Stevenson field hockey junior Katelyn Manocheh (Timonium/Maryvale Prep) totaled her fourth career multi-goal game and second this season to lead the Mustangs to a 2-1 victory over Hood in a CAC contest Tuesday afternoon at Thomas Athletic Field.

The team's leading scorer, Manochech totaled her fourth and fifth goals of the season, one in each half, as Stevenson (3-5, 1-2 CAC) picked up its first conference win of the season.

Manocheh netted the game's first goal just 3:36 in when she scored off an assist from sophomore Brittany Martin (Hampstead/Hereford) who totaled her first point of the season after totaling three assists a year ago.

Neither team would score again until Manocheh's second with less than 15 minutes remaining on a pass from senior Sarah Bauer (Baltimore/Perry Hall).

Megan Cahill would get the Blazers (3-5, 0-3 CAC) on the board with her first collegiate goal just seven minutes later to cut the Mustang lead in half.

Despite being outshot 20-9, Stevenson would protect its lead thanks to a strong defensive effort led by junior Kara Zimmerman (Odenton/Arundel) who had 10 saves, two shy of her career-high.

Hood had two penalty corners in the final seven minutes, but both shot attempts were blocked in front by Mustang defenders.

Stevenson returns to action on Saturday when it travels to No. 7-ranked Lebanon Valley. The Dutchmen are currently 7-1 heading into Thursday's game at FDU-Florham.
