Center Valley, PA (October 9, 2012) – York College erased a one-goal halftime deficit with two goals in the second half, topping the DeSales University field hockey team, 2-1, in a non-conference game on Tuesday afternoon.

Junior Sam Lavin gave DSU a 1-0 lead 22:28 into the game, converting a penalty stroke for her first goal of the season.  That lead stood into the half as York enjoyed a 15-8 edge in shots in the opening twenty minutes.

The lead continued to be one 12 minutes into the second half when the Spartans' Kailey Brewer sent a centering pass into the circle that glanced off senior Victoria DelToro's pads and into the cage, tying the game at one.

York needed just 2:22 to then take the lead as Jillian Brezgel scored on a similar play as her shot from the right end line seemed to carom off the goalkeeper's pads and into the cage.

York controlled play in the second-half with a 15-3 advantage in shots and a 12-0 edge in penalty corners.

DelToro finished with eight saves, while sophomore Rachel Wysocky had two defensive saves and freshman Julia Martinez had one.

The Bulldogs return to action on Thursday when they travel to Richard Stockton College for another non-conference game beginning at 7:00 pm.
