The Oberlin College field hockey team lost their first game of the year to the Seton Hill Griffins last Wednesday.

The Yeowomen avoided the shutout when first-year Christine Politis assisted junior Christine Castilla with 22:20 to go in the second half. The final score was 3-1.

Despite the loss the Yeowomen were constantly pressuring the Griffins, out-shooting them 16-8.

Seton Hill managed three goals on their limited quantity of shots. Sophomore Brittany Patton gave the Griffins the ultimate game-winning goal halfway through the first half.

The Griffins then added two goals from sophomores Nortia Bailey and Becky Shields in the second half.

First-year Lauren Malinowski started in goal for the Yeowomen and had three saves in her collegiate debut.

The field hockey team resumes action on Saturday at 11 a.m. versus SUNY-Geneseo on the West Fields.
