ROCHESTER, NY – Freshmen Bailey Selman scored three times and added an assist while fellow freshman Caroline Desautels added three goals to lead the Nazareth College field hockey team to a 6-1 victory over Rensselaer in a non-conference game Saturday on the artificial turf field at Nazareth.
Selman opened the scoring in the final two minutes of the first quarter and Desautels gave Nazareth (3-2) an early 2-0 lead less than a minute later.
The same two players added second quarter goals to push the lead to 4-0 as the first half came to a close.
In the third quarter, RPI (0-6) applied offensive pressure with multiple penalty corners and shots before finally scoring 4:16 into the period to trim the lead to 4-1.
Just before the end of the third quarter, Selman added her third goal of the game to regain the four-goal advantage for the Golden Flyers and Desautels added her third goal late in the fourth quarter to cap the scoring.
Sophomore Amanda Chuttey finished with 10 saves including eight in the third quarter for Nazareth.
The Golden Flyers return to action Wednesday and will host Geneseo in a 6 pm non-conference game at home.
