LAST TIME OUT
The Bloomsburg field hockey team scored three times in the first six and half minutes of the game on its way to a 4-2 win over Seton Hill on Tuesday in a PSAC matchup. Nikki Gattone (Reading/Muhlenberg), Sam Peters (Harrisburg/Mifflin County), Stephanie Halsted (Fairfax Station, VA/South County) and Jackie Shragher (Holland/Council Rock South) scored.

The goal snapped the Marauders scoreless streak over 11 games that included nine consecutive shutouts and 720:28 of playing time.
