WORCESTER, Mass. - The Holy Cross field hockey team dropped a heartbreaker to Northeastern, 2-1, on Sunday afternoon at the Hart Turf Field.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

• The two teams were scoreless through the first quarter before Northeastern found the back of the net just over nine minutes into the second quarter.
• Just over five minutes into the third quarter, senior Meggan Fourie capitalized on a Northeastern turnover, beating the defender to the ball and carrying it to the circle. Fourie passed across, finding sophomore Marissa MacLean who sent a backhand shot onto cage which Fourie tipped home.
• With 1:03 remaining, Northeastern was able to find the back of the cage on a tipped shot to win the game.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS:

• Freshman netminder Mia McCloskey finished the afternoon with seven saves. McCloskey sits in fourth in the Patriot League in save percentage (.711) and goals-against (2.13), and is third in saves per game (5.40).
• Senior Grace Donahue picked up her first career defensive save in the contest.

UP NEXT:

• Holy Cross will open their Patriot League schedule on Friday, Sept. 20 when they host Lafayette at 4 p.m.
