Field hockey had a rough start to the weekend with a 6-1 loss to Princeton after a dedication ceremony at its new home field, but bounced back Sunday with a 5-1 defeat of Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass.
Columbia struggled against the high-ranking Tigers, who managed to get three goals in by halftime, scoring their first only three minutes into play. Shortly after No. 4 Princeton scored again immediately after halftime, Columbia finally managed to get a point. Sophomore Gabby Kozlowski decreased the gap with a goal to make the score 4-1. However, hers proved to be the sole goal of the game for the Lions, as the strong Princeton team went on to make two more before the end of play.
Kozlowski played well again on Sunday, giving the Lions an early 2-0 lead against Holy Cross when she scored the first two goals within the first 12 minutes of play. Goals by Julia Garrison, Lauren Byrne, and Anna Tichy gave the Light Blue a total of five for a resounding victory.
With Sunday’s victory over Holy Cross, the Lions now have a 5-4 overall record for the season.
