No. 17 field hockey drops regular season finale at William Smith

Dillon '24 scored her fourth goal and has 14 points this season for the Continentals

William Smith College's Mackenzie Wodka scored with 1:56 left in the fourth quarter and lifted the Herons to a 2-1 non-conference win against the Hamilton College Continentals at William Smith's McCooey Field on Wednesday evening.
 
Season Update
Nationally ranked No. 17 Hamilton finished the regular season with an overall record of 8-7. The Herons, who received votes in this week's National Field Hockey Coaches Association Division III Top 20 poll, improved to 11-0 at home and 14-3 overall. William Smith is 5-2 in the Liberty League.
 
How It Happened
  • Following a penalty corner with about two minutes remaining, the Herons' Rebecca Mantione had her shot blocked. Wodka controlled the rebound and took another shot that was stopped by Abby Griffin '26. Wodka collected the loose ball again and finally deposited it into the back of the cage.
  • Wodka was credited with the assist on William Smith's first goal with 10:05 to go in the first quarter. Emily Leonard inserted the ball on a penalty corner and eventually scored her 14th goal this season.
  • The Continentals drew even with 5:49 left in the third quarter. Camille Donaghey '23 directed the ball to stick-stop Kiera Wax '23 on the penalty corner. Wax tapped the ball over to Hannah Dillon '24 for a hard shot from near the edge of the circle that found the back of the cage.
  • After Wodka's goal, Hamilton pulled Griffin for an extra attacker. The Continentals were awarded a penalty corner with 1:14 remaining, but the ensuing shot was blocked and Hamilton didn't threaten again.
 
Notes
  • Dillon's goal was her fourth this year and it was her 20th career point. She's second on the team with 14 points.
  • Wax and Donaghey picked up their second assists this fall.
  • Griffin turned away four shots – all in the second half.
  • The Herons held a 9-5 shot advantage, and both teams posted six penalty corners.
  • The Continentals had won the previous three meetings and outscored William Smith 10-1 during that run.
