DOYLESTOWN (PA) – Five different players registered a point as the Delaware Valley University field hockey team defeated host Immaculata University, 6-1, on Wednesday night.
 
The Aggies won their third game in a row to improve to 4-3 overall as they look ahead to their first Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Freedom contest of the year on Saturday when they host DeSales University at five o'clock. The Mighty Macs fell to 2-5 on the season with the loss.
 
DelVal scored two goals in a span of four and a half minutes in the first half with Carlie Baldus playing a role in both. Baldus capitalized on a crossing pass from Kara Imes to make it 1-0 and then found Samantha Collyer open in front for the two-goal lead.
 
Immaculata got one back less than two minutes later when Shannon Lozier earned a penalty stroke and buried it in the back of the cage.
 
The Aggies responded quickly as Collyer sent a ball through the air to the side of the cage where Imes gathered and deposited it to regain the two-goal lead. The score remained 3-1 into the halftime break.
