Trocki Breaks Goals and Scoring Record in 5-1 Win over Kean

Center Valley, PA (October 2, 2024) - Senior Maddie Trocki broke both the career goals and career points record with three goals leading the DeSales University field hockey team past Kean University, 5-1, in non-conference action on Wednesday evening.

The Basics
  • Final Score: DeSales - 5, Kean - 1
  • Records: DeSales (3-6 overall), Kean (3-7 overall)
  • This is DeSales' first-ever win over Kean in seven career meetings.
  • The Cougars were a National Semifinalist in the NCAA Tournament last season.
How it Happened
  • The Bulldogs scored first 12:42 into the game as Trocki received a ball near the midfield line, beat a Cougar defender, creating a 1-v-1 with the keeper, firing a shot into the cage for her record breaking 45th career goal and 111th career point.
  • DSU exploded in the second quarter scoring 3:55 into the quarter, again 2:49 later, and a third time 4:11 after the second goal to take a 4-0 halftime lead.
  • Trocki scored the second goal on a blast from the top of the circle off a feed from fellow senior Delani Remp.
  • Junior Nikki Chiaradia scored the third on a rebound of a saved Trocki shot and Trocki tallied a hat trick with her third, a carbon copy of the first taking a pass near midfield, beating the Cougar defense and goal for an open cage goal.
  • Kean got one back early in the third quarter to make it a three goal game.
  • The Bulldogs got that goal back 2:31 into the fourth quarter when Chiaradia touched a pass over to sophomore Megan McLain on the back post who scored her first career goal.
