Elsenbeck scores twice, Lloyd adds two assists to lead Saints in UCAA match

 

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. -- Sophomore forward Tiffany Elsenbeck (Clinton, N.Y.) scored two goals to lead St. Lawrence University to a 4-1 Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association field hockey victory over Vassar College Friday afternoon at Prentiss Field.

 

All of the scoring occurred in the first 22 minutes of the first half. Sophomore forward Liz Allison (No. Creek, N.Y.) scored 2:35 into the game when she converted a penalty stroke. Elsenbeck made it a two-goal game less than five minutes later when she beat senior goalkeeper Tara Trifon (Coronado, Calif.) with a shot.

 

Freshman midfielder Lindsay Guest (Brunswick, Maine) cut the lead to 2-1, when she picked up a rebound on a shot by senior defender Maureen Kenealy (Wellesley, Mass.) and beat SLU junior keeper Sarah Rohrs (Gloversville, N.Y.) for the goal.

 

Junior forward Erin Lloyd (Corinth, N.Y.) put the game away for the Saints, when she assisted graduate forward Nicola Reid (Kingston, Jamaica) and Elsenbeck on goals for the 4-1 final.

 

Vassar (3-11, 1-5 UCAA) outshot the Saints 19-13. Rohrs made eight saves in the first half, while senior Amelia Gomez (Poughkeepsie, N.Y.) collected five in the second for Saint Lawrence (8-4, 4-2 UCAA). Trifon had six saves for Vassar.
