CHARLOTTE, N.C. - For the second consecutive day, the eighth-ranked Bloomsburg University field hockey team scored seven goals as the Huskies blanked Newberry College, 7-0, at Queens University of Charlotte on Sunday.

Sophomore Ali McKay (Dover, Del./Polytech) had a goal and two assists while junior Brooke Zeiders (Selinsgrove, Pa./Selinsgrove Area) scored a pair of goals to pace the offense.

The 14 goals in back-to-back victories over the weekend marked the highest offensive output by a Huskies team in consecutive wins since scoring 21 goals in victories over Kutztown and Mansfield on November 3 and November 6, 2010.

Bloomsburg jumped out to a 3-0 lead at halftime and then added four goals in the second half to complete the shutout. Freshmen Dana Sheply (Maple Shade, N.J./Maple Shade) and Hannah Barnard (Vestal, N.Y./Vestal) combined for the shutout victory with Sheply picking up her second win of the season. Bloomsburg also shutout the Wolves in shots as the Huskies outshot Newberry, 26-0, over the entire contest.

McKay jumpstarted the offense with her first goal of the season just over five minutes into the contest to give the Huskies a 1-0 lead. Senior Geneka Mahan (Selinsgrove, Pa./Selinsgrove Area) notched her first goal of the season on a rebound five minutes later to extend the lead to 2-0. Senior Sally DeLuca (West Pittston, Pa./Wyoming Area) was credited with the assist after taking the initial shot.

Just over two minutes later, freshman Emily Alker (Cresco, Pa./Pocono Mountain East) buried her first collegiate goal on a breakaway to give the Huskies a 3-0 lead at 12:20. McKay added the assist.

The Huskies outshot Newberry, 16-0, in the first half and held a 5-0 advantage in penalty corners.

Junior Abby Sauder (Mount Joy, Pa./Donegal) knocked home a rebound off of a penalty corner just over 11 minutes into the second half to extend the Huskies' lead to 4-0. Sauder's third goal of the young season was assisted by senior MacKenna Mahan (Selinsgrove, Pa./Selinsgrove Area).

Less than two minutes later, MacKenna Mahan (Selinsgrove, Pa./Selinsgrove Area) scored an unassisted breakaway goal - her second goal of the year - as the lead ballooned to 5-0. Zeiders finished off the scoring with a pair of goals at 61:32 and 65:51 - her second and third tallies of the year. McKay added her second assist of the game on Zeiders' second goal of the contest.
