NEW YORK, N.Y. – The Quinnipiac field hockey team strung together two goals in less than 10 minutes early in the second half to come from behind to beat the Columbia Lions, 3-2, for the Bobcats' second straight victory. Anna Walmsley (Glasgow, Scotland) struck for the game-winner shortly after Marissa Larkin's (Saratoga Springs, New York) first goal of the season that kicked off the second half.

SCORING SUMMARY

5:06 (QU 1, Columbia 0): Elisa Van Winkel (Heeze, Netherlands) struck first for the Bobcats when she scored off a rebound from a shot by Valerie Perkins (Mohegan Lake, New York) with early in the first half. Van Winkel's goal was the freshman's first goal as a Bobcat.
20:08 (QU 1, Columbia 1): The Lions answered on a corner of their own 15 minutes after the Bobcats jumped out ahead. Katie Koester snuck behind the defense and connected with a shot from Brooke Gasser to deflect the ball into the goal to tie the game.
37:40 (QU 1, Columbia 2): The Lions jumped out to the early 2-1 lead just minutes into the second half when Danielle Buttinger received a pass by Jennifer Trieschman and scored to give Columbia the 2-1 lead just a pinch under three minutes into the second half.
38:02 ( QU 2, Columbia 2): Larkin wasted no time when the junior forward struck just 22 seconds after the Lions took the 2-1 lead. Jess Halley (Glasgow, Scotland) passed it to Larkin and was credited with her first-career assist.
46:49 (QU 3, Columbia 2): Blum received a long pass from the defensive zone and pulled the Lion's goalie out of position before Walmsley corralled the loose ball and scored to give Quinnipiac the 3-2 lead.

NOTES

Van Winkel's goal was her first goal of the season and her Quinnipiac career.
Perkins assist was her first of the 2018 season and her second in her three-year career.
Larkin netted her first goal of the season and the second goal of her career. The other goal of Larkin's career came when she scored the game-winner against Temple in a 1-0 victory last October.
Halley's assist was the first point of her career and also recorded her first career defensive save.
Walmsley's netted her first goal of 2018 and third goal since transferring to Quinnipiac in 2017.
The goal was also Walmsley's second game-winning goal. The forward's last game winner came in the Bobcats' 2-1 victory over Georgetown in 2017.
Blum's assist is good for her first of the season and second of her career.
Hannah Teicher (Bethesda, Maryland) recorded two saves on five shots on goal (12 total shots) in her second-straight win in the cage for Quinnipiac.
