HARTFORD, Conn. — With 55 seconds remaining in regulation and the scoreboard glowing 3-3,
Demi Janis (Cos Cobb, Conn.) connected with the back of the net for the game-winning goal in the Trinity College field hockey team's, 4-3, victory over the Connecticut College Camels at home on the Robin L. Sheppard Field on Tuesday. The Bantams improved to 6-4 overall and 2-4 in the New England Small College Athletic Conference, while Connecticut dipped to 2-6 and 0-5. Trinity travels to league foe Bowdoin College on October 7 for a noon matchup against the Polar Bears.
Demi received the ball from
Jackie Frank (Longmeadow, Mass.) before battling through Camels to connect for her second goal of the night in the final seconds of the fourth quarter. The visitors took an early lead in under a minute in the opening quarter as Kendall Arnold cored after a scuffle in front of the net with only 56 seconds elapsed.
Janis delivered the equalizer in similar fashion as the game-winner, this time off a penalty corner inserted by
Maeve Hymovitz (Needham Heights, Mass.) with 0:08 on the clock in the first quarter.
Katrina Winfield (Wilmington, Del.) took the initial shot off the corner by first-year goalkeeper Liz Winemaster made the save, but Janis followed through with the tap in.
Winfield netted back-to-back shots in under three minutes in the third quarter to pad the Bantams' lead to 3-1, but less than a minute later Sydney Cresta narrowed the gap by one at 40:30. Winfield's second goal came off a corner the senior inserted, but she quickly entered the game of play for
Izzy Deveney's (Westport, Conn.) precise pass around the Camels' defenders allowed Winfield to net her 11th goal of the season.
With less than six minutes remaining in regulation, Arnold recorded her second goal of the night for the Camels to once again knot the match at three apiece after
Olivia McMichael (Glenside, Pa.) saved Rowan Galanis's shot that ricocheted off the goalkeepers' shin guard. Both teams attempted eight shots on goal as Winemaster tallied four saves for the visitors and McMichael denied five for thr Navy & Gold. Trinity attempted 10 corners with 24 fouls, while Connecticut tried five and committed 41.
