(Carlisle, Pa.) - The Dickinson College women's field hockey team suffered a tough loss in the home finale, falling 2-0 to visiting Gettysburg on Tuesday.  The Bullets scored both goals late in the second half to improve to 6-3 in the Centennial Conference and 8-8 overall.  Dickinson falls to 2-7, and 3-13 overall.

The seniors were again recognized as they took to the Biddle Field turf for the final time this season.  The first half of the game was a defensive battle for the Red Devils. Sophomore goaltender Ioni Kokdis (Jefferson, N.J./Pope John XXII) held her own against a barrage of shots, saving 13 on the day.  Senior Laura Romano (Norwalk, Conn./Brien McMahon) and sophomore Laura Hitchings (Fort Washington, Pa./Upper Dublin) were yet again solid on defense as they each worked within the circle to stall the Bullet attack.

The Devils seemed to find their feet offensively as the second half began with a spark. Both teams fought hard for possession as Dickinson managed to fire off a couple of strong shots in the opening minutes.

The net remained elusive, however, and the first goal was scored by Gettysburg in the 49th minute. Liz Baron took two shots that were saved by Kokdis before Annie Marosits sunk the ball in to the far side of the cage. The Devils remained persistent but Erica Barbuto finished off the day with a redirect off of a shot by Sarah Cole with just 1:53 left in the game.

The Red Devils travel to Washington College for their final game of the season on Saturday. Game time is set for 1:00 pm.
