SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. - The Bloomsburg University field hockey team saw its two-game winning streak come to an end on Saturday evening as the Huskies dropped a 5-1 decision at sixth-ranked Shippensburg University in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) opener for both teams. Bloomsburg dropped to 2-5 overall while the Raiders improved to 4-3 on the season.

Shippensburg scored four unanswered goals over the last three quarters to break open a 1-1 tie after the opening 15 minutes. The Raiders struck first when Jazmin Petrantonio collected her own rebound and beat freshman goalkeeper Abby Shaffer (Harrisburg, Pa./Central Dauphin) just 1:45 into the contest. Bloomsburg answered as sophomore Foto Tsioles (Kingston, Pa./Wyoming Valley West) continued her impressive start to the season by notching her team-leading fourth goal of the year at 6:37. Tsioles has scored four of Bloomsburg's 11 goals through seven matches this season.

But, the Raiders took a 2-1 advantage on Petrantonio's second goal of the game at 23:56 when she scored off of a penalty corner. Petrantonio completed the hat trick just 1:24 into the second half to extend the Raiders' lead to 3-1 and, less than three minutes later, Valen Alonso extended the lead to 4-1 with her first goal of the season. Shaffer gave way to junior Hannah Barnard (Vestal, N.Y./Vestal) four minutes later.

Emily Stauffer closed out the scoring with just 2:23 left in regulation when she tipped home a pass from Petrantonio.

Shippensburg held an 18-7 advantage in shots and had a slimmer, 7-5, edge in penalty corner opportunities. Shaffer was saddled with the loss as she dropped to 2-4 overall on the season. The freshman was credited with five saves in nearly 39 minutes of action. Barnard turned aside three shots in just over 21 minutes.
