BRYN MAWR, Pa. – The Bryn Mawr field hockey team closed out its non-conference slate with a 1-0 victory over Catholic at Shillingford Field on Tuesday afternoon.
 
Highlights:

• After nine minutes of solid defense from Bryn Mawr (6-1) and Catholic (2-5), the Owls notched the first shot of the game. Julia Ward fired a shot off the corner, but the Cardinals' goalkeeper Camryn Lowman forced the pads together to keep the game scoreless.
• The second half saw shots on goal from Lucie Burgess and Leya Patel, but they were unable to find a way past Lowman as the game remained tied heading into halftime.
• Bryn Mawr turned up the intensity in the third quarter, recording four during the frame.
• The fourth shot of the quarter saw Mary Stronach collect a pass from Elodie Anderson before firing a shot off the goalie's pad and in to break the deadlock.
• Catholic flipped the momentum in the final frame with four shots of its own, but Bryn Mawr goalkeeper Sydney Wright stood tall with three saves against a determined Cardinal offense.
• The shutout marks the Centennial Conference-leading fourth of the season for Wright, who boasts a .59 goals-against-average this season.
• BMC outshot the Cardinals, 9-5, while holding a 4-3 advantage in shots on goal.
