WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Cornell University field hockey team set a school record with it's 10th win of the season this afternoon when it defeated Georgetown, 3-0 at Kehoe Field. The Big Red tied the school record on Oct. 18 when they defeated Colgate, 4-3, and have now eclipsed the mark, which was reached by four previous squads, the 1978, 1995, 1997 and 2002 teams.

Cornell (10-5) opened the scoring at 16:29 when junior Lindsay Moyer scored the game-winner with an unassisted goal on a breakaway. The Big Red took the 1-0 lead into halftime and received two insurance goals in the second stanza. Freshman Mandy Malzberg (Flemington, N.J.) scored of a pass from freshman Helena Haas (Delafield, Wisc.) at the 54:04 mark. With less than two minutes to play in the contest, freshman Belen Martinez (Winnipeg, Man.) scored off a penalty corner. Senior Blair Corcoran (Downington, Pa.) fed in the corner, while classmate Natalie Serlé (Columbus, Ohio) was the setter, giving both an assist on the goal.

Cornell outshot Georgetown (3-13), 10-6, but the Hoyas doubled-up the Big Red in penalty corner opportunities, 8-4.

Sophomore Lizzie Goldblatt (Bethesda, Md.) posted two saves on the day to record the win. Deirdre Crovo stopped three for the Hoyas while the team recorded one save in the loss.

The Big Red will play their regular-season finale on Saturday, Nov. 5 when it travels to Hanover, N.H., to take on Dartmouth at noon.
