McGrath's Hat Trick Helps Goeller Becomes All-Time Wins Leader in 3-2 Win over Wilkes

Wilkes-Barre, PA (October 5, 2019) - Freshman Catie McGrath had a hat trick and head coach Lindsay Goeller won her 37th career game making her the all-time leader in wins in the DeSales University field hockey team's 3-2 win over Wilkes University in MAC Freedom action on Friday evening.

The Basics
  • Final Score: DeSales - 3, Wilkes - 2
  • Records: DeSales (5-7, 1-1 MAC Freedom); Wilkes (8-5, 1-1 MAC Freedom)
  • Goeller moves into first place all-time with 37 career wins, one ahead of Jayne (Longacre) Landis who won 36 games in her four years at the helm.
  • The win is also DSU's first-ever over Wilkes on the road having entered tonight's game 0-8 all-time at Wilkes.
How it Happened
  • DSU took a 1-0 lead just 4:39 into the game when McGrath scored the first of three pushing home a loose ball deep in the circle.
  • The Colonels needed just under four minutes to the game at one that lasted thru the first quarter.
  • McGrath then gave DeSales the lead for good 5:53 into the second quarter scoring from just inside the circle after a corner had come up short as the Bulldogs led 2-1 at the half.
  • The Bulldogs got an important insurance goal at 38:34 when McGarth backhanded a saved rebound off a shot on the corner feed.
  • Wilkes made it interesting late scoring with 21 seconds left but were unable to threaten on the following re-start as DeSales took home the important conference win.
