WILKES FIELD HOCKEY HOLDS ON FOR 2-1 WIN AT MISERICORDIA

DALLAS, PA – Aliya Frankel (Ventnor, NJ/Holy Spirit)'s goal with just under eleven minutes remaining in the second half broke a tie game giving Wilkes University a 2-1 Freedom Conference win at Misericordia University Tuesday afternoon at Mangelsdorf Field.

Wilkes evens its overall mark at 8-8 and improves to 3-4 in Freedom play following the win. Misericordia drops to 3-15 overall and 1-6 in league games.

Frankel scored the game-winner at the 59:07 mark of the second half off an assist from Kerryn Redcay (Reading, PA/Wilson), just four minutes after Misericordia's Lindsay Hischak scored unassisted to tie the game at 1-1.

After the teams went scoreless in the first half, Ashley Hahn (Bangor, PA/Bangor) gave Wilkes a 1-0 lead at the 45:42 mark when the junior scored her sixth goal of the season thanks to a pass from Frankel.

Wilkes dominated most of the game in their offensive end holding a 24-11 shot advantage, while garnering 19 penalty corners to Misericordia's four corner attempts.

Alexis Reed (Greenport, NY/Greenport) earned her eighth win in net for the Lady Colonels finishing with 10 saves. Keeper Grace Riker made 14 stops in the losing effort for Misericordia.

Wilkes will conclude its regular season slate Friday hosting SUNY New Paltz at 4:00 p.m. at Schmidt Stadium.
