HARRISONBURG, VA – Eastern Mennonite University held Franklin & Marshall to three shots on goal and tallied goals at 1:33 and 56:49 to upset #10 nationally ranked Franklin & Marshall College 2-1 in non-conference field hockey action. The Diplomats (4-1, 0-0 Centennial Conference) fell behind early in the game as Meghan Hershey scored an unassisted goal 1:33 into the game to give the Royals a 1-0 lead at halftime as the Diplomats did not record a shot on goal in the first 35 minutes of play.
