Box Score NEWPORT NEWS, VA - Christopher Newport's field hockey team, ranked 13th in the nation, dropped a tough 2-0 decision to # 20 Gettysburg on Saturday afternoon, playing the game on the school's brand new field turf facility.
It was a 0-0 game until the 32nd minute when Savannah Ruth got the Bullets on the board. CNU would play GC tightly for the rest of the game, but could not find a way to get the ball in the cage.
Despite the Captains close play, GC would get another point on the board with a penalty stroke by Anne Ritter in the 61st minute.
The Bullets outshot CNU by a total of 15-8. Katelyn Yandle managed two shots for the Captains, and Emma Stout made four saves in goal.
