SWARTHMORE, Pa. - The Dickinson field hockey team was limited to just four shots on the afternoon as they came up on the wrong end of a 1-0 decision on Saturday afternoon at Swarthmore College in Centennial Conference action.

Dickinson had two of their four chances in the opening quarter with Philine Smits and Hannah Spiri both being denied by Aron Lankford in cage. At the other end of the pitch, Saige Stevens was tasked with stopping Samantha Meacock with 12:52 gone. 

Swarthmore outshot the Devils 4-0 over the second 15 minutes, but none of them ever tested Stevens sending the game to the half still at 0-0.

The Garnet continued to keep the pressure on in the third forcing Stevens into a pair of saves as she shutdown Callie Cho and Meacock. However, with 58-seconds left in the period, Meacock would dent the Stevens wall for the 1-0 lead.

Dickinson went looking for the equalizer in the fourth with Hailey Womer and Smits testing Lankford who kept the shutout intact and earned the 1-0 win.
