BRYN MAWR, PA – The Bryn Mawr field hockey team opened their 2025 season at home on Friday evening and ultimately fell just short in a 3–2 battle with Widener. After trailing 2–0 at halftime, the Owls stormed back with two quick goals in the third quarter to even the score, before Widener netted the decisive game-winner.

Highlights:

• Widener struck first at the 6:06 mark when Megan Bryk converted on a penalty corner, assisted by Briana Rocha and Brie Mallozzi, giving the visitors an early 1–0 lead.
• Widener extended its lead midway through the second when Anabella Cenci scored unassisted at 18:36 to make it 2–0.
• The Owls came out of halftime with renewed energy, earning a penalty corner less than a minute in. Maggie Barilla capitalized at 30:31 with her first goal of the season, cutting the deficit to 2–1. Just 40 seconds later, Annick van Blerkom tied the game at 2–2 with a goal assisted by Barilla.
• Widener quickly responded as Cenci notched her second goal of the day at 37:57 off an assist from Mallozzi, reclaiming the 3–2 advantage.
• The Owls controlled possession in the fourth, firing another five shots and earning a late penalty corner, yet Rejrat's four saves in the final 15 minutes preserved the Widener lead.
