W&M Blanks Hofstra, 1-0, To Remain Undefeated in CAA Field Hockey

The William & Mary field hockey team started conference play 2-0 for the second year in a row on Sunday, blanking Hofstra 1-0 on the road.  The Tribe improves to 5-4 overall and 2-0 in the Colonial Athletic Association to take the early lead in the league, while the Pride falls to 3-10 (1-1 CAA).

How it Happened
- W&M came out firing and never let up, eager to avoid a repeat of Friday when it needed a furious comeback effort to beat Northeastern.  Freshman Jorja Morgan (Wakerley, QLD, Australia) opened the barrage with her first shot just 1:18 in.
- The Tribe broke through five minutes in exactly, on its fifth shot of the game.  Redshirt-senior Estelle Hughes (Newcastle, NSW, Australia) passed the ball in to junior Woodard Hooper (Reston, Va.), who beat Hofstra goalkeeper Betty Bosma for her third goal of the season.
- That goal would prove to be all the offense needed in the game, but not for lack of trying by the W&M offense who took a season-high 23 shots, out-shooting Hofstra 13-1 in the first half and 10-2 in the second.  Bosma made eight saves for the opponents.
- Hughes and freshman Cara Menges (Richmond, Va.) led the way with five shots each, while Hooper and Morgan both finished with four.
- Penalty corners were in favor of the Tribe, 4-2, for just the third time this season.
- Freshman goalkeeper Kimi Jones (Virginia Beach, Va.) was only called on to make one save in earning her third win and first shutout of the season.

Notes
Woodard Hooper scored her seventh career game-winning goal ... She's now tied for seventh in school history with Gina Cimarelli '07 ... The Tribe recorded a shutout for the first time this season, and the first time in 13 games dating back to last season at Drexel ... The Tribe starts the conference season 2-0 for just the eighth time in 34 seasons ... W&M also started 2-0 in CAA play in back-to-back seasons for the first time since doing it three years in a row from 2004-06 (finished 7-0, 4-4, and 4-4 in those three seasons) ... The only other 2-0 starts were in 1998 (finished 4-2), 1993 (3-3), and 1990 (6-1) ... Head coach Tess Ellis is now just one win away from 50 in her career .. Estelle Hughes' assist gives her a career-high 19 points this season ... Kimi Jones is the fourth true freshman in school history to record a shutout in goal.

Up Next
William & Mary returns home next weekend for a single game against Towson (1-9, 0-2 CAA).  The Tigers visit Busch Field on Friday night, Oct. 5, at 7 p.m.
