Bucknell Field Hockey Clipped in OT at Villanova, 3-2
10/6/2019 2:59:00 PM | Field Hockey
CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. – Bucknell sophomore Emily Doyle continued her scoring spree with two more goals, but Villanova came from behind to defeat the Bison 3-2 on Abby Siana's overtime goal on Sunday afternoon at The Proving Grounds.
The Bison (5-5) needed only 2:27 to get on the board when Doyle scored off a feed from Allie Christopher. Lydia Sydnor, the sister of former Bison football player Brice Sydnor, evened the match in the second quarter before Doyle put the Bison back in front with her second of the day in the final minute of the third period.
This was Doyle's second straight two-goal game, after she logged a brace last Sunday at Towson, and she has five goals in her last three games. Doyle now has a team-high seven goals on the season, which is the second-highest total in the Patriot League.
But the Wildcats (4-6), who average just under three goals per game, were able to find the equalizer in the fourth quarter and the game-winner in 7v7 overtime.
Katie Capalbo scored in the 55th minute to tie the match, forcing extra time. There was plenty of action at both ends of the field in OT, with both goalkeepers making two saves before Siana ended it 7:06 into the period.
Both teams finished with 16 total shot attempts, while Villanova led 7-4 in penalty corners. Olivia Harris tallied four saves for the Bison, while two Villanova goalies combined for nine stops.
The Bison return to action next Saturday at home against Patriot League-rival Lehigh at noon.
