LEWISBURG, Pa. - Liz Tutella's goal with 3:11 remaining in overtime lifted 20th-ranked Holy Cross to a 1-0 victory over Bucknell in a Patriot League field hockey game Saturday afternoon at West Field.
Tutella's goal, off an assist from Cathleen Kerman, came on Holy Cross' seventh shot of overtime and helped the Crusaders improve to 9-1 overall and 4-0 in the Patriot League. Bucknell lost its second straight game to a nationally ranked foe and third straight overall in falling to 5-6, 1-3.
The Bison lost at No. 17 Penn State, 5-1, on Tuesday, a game that was tied 1-1 with just over 12 minutes to play.
Holy Cross outshot Bucknell by a slim 18-17 margin, including 7-1 in overtime. Ten of Bucknell's shots came in the first half, but the Bison could not solve goaltender Jen Corsilli. Holy Cross entered the game as the nation's top defensive team statistically, and have now allowed only six goals in 10 games.
Bucknell's Sonja Wettergreen made a season-high 16 saves, including five in the sudden-death session.
The Bison return to action this Tuesday at Lock Haven, the top-ranked team in Division II. Game time is 7 p.m.
