Wooster Drops Home Finale

Zehnal scores for eighth time this fall

Frankie Zehnal's eighth goal of the year doubled the junior forward's career total heading into the season and senior midfielder Brooke Benjamin made three defensive saves during The College of Wooster field hockey team's home finale on Wednesday evening at John P. Papp Stadium. Ohio Wesleyan University took the contest from Wooster 6-1.

Zehnal gained possession deep inside the circle in the 35th minute and was quicker than Ohio Wesleyan's defender guarding her as she spun and fired in the goal. Zehnal scored four goals in her first-year and sophomore seasons and enters Saturday's season finale with 16 career goals.

Benjamin was busy early in support of senior goalkeeper Nono Kauffman, and Ohio Wesleyan kept the pressure on, firing off 11 shots in the first quarter and 23 in the opening half. Benjamin's first defensive save came on Grace Ammon's shot following an Ohio Wesleyan penalty corner in the fourth minute. Emmerson Crist was denied twice by Benjamin, first in the fifth minute, then again in the opening sequence of the second quarter.

Emma Reynolds, sister of Wooster field hockey alumna Ashley Reynolds, scored the first two goals for the Battling Bishops on penalty corners. She connected from 12 yards out in the third minute and 14 yards out in the 13th minute.

Ohio Wesleyan tacked on three scores late in the second half. A shot from the top from Annabel Fauver was redirected off Reagan Shifflett's stick for Ohio Wesleyan's third goal in the 25th minute. Grace Ammon drove into the circle with possession before finding the cage on a back-hander from 12 yards a little over three minutes after Shifflett's goal. A failed Wooster clear set Mary Powers up for a goal that made it 5-0 just before halftime. Mattison Hyland joined the scoring column, adding a goal following a pass to the front from Grace Ammon in the 37th minute.

Kauffman made 12 saves on the night for Wooster.

Ohio Wesleyan outshot Wooster 35-5 and had all nine penalty corners in the game. Payton Mindel made one save for the Battling Bishops in goal.

Ohio Wesleyan improved to 13-4, 7-2 North Coast Athletic Conference. Wooster's record is now 4-9, 3-6 NCAC.

Wooster concludes its season at Kenyon College (7-8, 6-3 NCAC) at 11 a.m. on Saturday, October 31.
