Box score

OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Junior Katelyn Manocheh (Timonium/Maryvale Prep) totaled five points and scored two goals, including the game-winner, to give Stevenson its first win of the season, 3-1 over FDU-Florham Sunday at Caves Athletics Complex in the Black Eyed Susan Tournament.

After being held to just one goal over its first two games, the Mustangs (1-2) scored two in the second half to break open a 1-1 tie at halftime.

Manocheh had a hand in all three Stevenson goals and as a result, was named to the all-tournament along with junior Natalie DiPaolo (Baltimore/Perry Hall) who had a defensive save in Saturday's loss to Delaware Valley.

On Sunday, Manocheh put the Mustangs on the board less than 11 minutes in when she scored on a loose ball in the circle following a penalty corner.

However, the Devils (2-1) would answer only 5:42 later when Marybeth Weimer scored her third goal in the last two days on rebound to tie the game at 1-1 with just over 19 minutes remaining in the half.

Both teams were pretty evenly matched in the first half with FDU managing a 5-4 edge in shots and Stevenson holding a 9-7 margin in penalty corners.

Junior Kara Zimmerman (Odenton/Arundel) was a big key for the Mustangs as stopped four of the five shots she faced to keep the Devils at bay. In two previous games, both victories, FDU had outscored its opponents, 8-1.

Neither team could get the upper hand at the start of the second half until Manocheh scored her second goal of the game with less than 17 minutes remaining off an assist from senior Sarah Bauer (Baltimore/Perry Hall) on a penalty corner. It was Manocheh's third career multi-goal game, all of which have come over the team's last seven games.

With 3:57 left, Manocheh picked up her first assist of the season when she sent a ball towards the cage on Stevenson's 15th penalty corner of the game that was redirected into the goal by junior Jennifer Sauers (Baltimore/Perry Hall) for her first of the season.

Zimmerman made seven saves in the contest while her counterpart Kayleigh White had five.

The Mustangs will carry their momentum into a 13-day layoff before returning to action on Saturday, September 19 at home against Roanoke.
