OXFORD, Ohio - The Miami University (2-16, 0-9 Mid-American) field hockey team was shut out twice this weekend by No. 13 Ohio, 9-0, and No. 12 Kent State, 5-0. The RedHawks skid is now at 16 games but includes seven setbacks to nationally ranked teams.
On Friday, Oct. 19, Ohio scored five goals in the first period and four more in the second against the RedHawks to improve their record to 11-4 and 6-1 in the MAC. The Bobcats allowed Miami to squeeze off only one shot while Tara Elliott and Ashley Pitkin combined in goal for the shutout. Recording the only shot for Miami was sophomore Angie Snedden (Sarnia, Ontario).
Miami travelled to Kent, Ohio on Saturday, Oct. 20, for its third game of the week versus a ranked opponent. Even though the RedHawks did not come away with the victory, they managed to fire off four shots against the No. 12 Golden Flashes. For the second time this year versus Miami, KSU's Arlette van Cleeff recorded a hat trick along with two assists. Snedden led the Miami offense for the second straight day this time with three shots.
The RedHawks seek to end to their 16-game losing streak as they wrap up the regular season this weekend at home versus No. 9 Lousiville on Friday, Oct. 26, and Appalachian State on Sunday, Oct. 28.
