OXFORD, Ohio - The Miami University field hockey team controlled much of the game, but ultimately fell in overtime to UMass-Lowell 2-1. The RedHawks fall to 2-1 on the season and the Riverhawks improve to 2-1.
Miami offensively-dominated the game, holding a 23-9 advantage in shots attempted. The RedHawks also led the game in penalty corners 5-2.
Paula Portugal netted her third goal of the season off of a penalty corner in the 12th minute of play. Portugal's goal was assisted by Henni Otten and Morgan Sturm.
The score remained 1-0 until the 36th minute when Anouk Lalande scored her fourth of the season to tie the game for UMass-Lowell.
Despite Miami leading the shots 19-4 at the end of regulation, the score remained 1-1 so the game required overtime. With less than 30 seconds left in the overtime period, Torrie Huk tipped in her third goal of the season for a Riverhawks victory. Christa Doiron fed Huk the game-winning pass.
