LANCASTER, PA -- Courtney Brooks (Sr., Rockville, MD/Richard Montgomery) scored with 8:37 to go in the first half to lead F&M to a 2-1 victory over Muhlenberg in Centennial Conference field hockey play on Saturday. Brooks' goal would come just 18 seconds after Muhlenberg's Kristen Bruschi tied the game at one off a brilliant pass from Melissa Eiken. F&M had opened a 1-0 lead over the Mules at 24:01 of the first as Sara Yonker (Jr., Rockville, MD/Thomas S. Wootton) took a Lindsey Mohr (Fr., Pennsburg, PA/Upper Perkiomen) pass and turned it into a goal. The goal marked the first F&M scoreboard tally in 291 minutes, as the Diplomats had been shutout in their last four games. In goal, Jenny Lindner (Jr., Northport, NY/Friends Academy) made nine saves on 10 Muhlenberg shots to preserve the victory. Muhlenberg's Jo Fasolino notched 11 saves off 14 F&M shots in the effort. Franklin & Marshall College will continue the season on September 22 with an away game at Eastern Mennonite University, before traveling to Mary Washington on the 23rd of the month.
