Field Hockey advances to CC final with 4-1 win over Dickinson

LANCASTER, Pa. – Sophomore defender Megan Keenan (Sinking Spring, Pa./Wilson) scored three goals, all unassisted, as second-seeded Ursinus (13-5) defeated third-seeded Dickinson (12-6) 4-1 on Saturday in the Centennial Conference Championship semifinal. 

The Bears will advance to play defending champion Franklin & Marshall tomorrow at noon in the conference final. F&M defeated Haverford, 3-1, in the other semifinal.

Keenan scored goals at 21:18, 58:05 and 65:40 as the Bears had a 19-10 advantage on shots and a 13-7 edge in corners. 

Ursinus got on the board early as junior defender Nora Kornfeld scored on an assist from freshman forward Amber Steigerwalt at 3:03 for a 1-0 lead.

Keenan scored the only other goal of the first half, when she intercepted a Dickinson clear and converted her 22nd goal of the year for a 2-0 lead at intermission. 

Dickinson cut the Ursinus lead to 2-1 at 52:17 when Erica Marshall scored off of a corner.

Keenan would then score the last two goals of the game, including her last goal at 65:40 when she spun around a Dickinson defender and converted her 24th goal of the year.

In goal, sophomore Danielle DeSpirito made five saves.
