Katie Wimmer finishes season as Ivy League saves leader
NEW YORK – Meredith Heaney scored in the final game of her career with Columbia field hockey (6-11, 3-4) as the Lions hosted #7 Princeton (13-4, 7-0) in the season finale on Saturday afternoon. The top-seeded Tigers defeated the Lions 3-1.
The Tigers broke through first on a penalty stroke near the three-minute mark of the first quarter. Heaney scored the equalizer three minutes later on a bouncing ball in the shooting circle.
Katie Wimmer stopped four shots in the first quarter before being replaced by Gianna Cilluffo because of an injury. Wimmer finished the season as the Ivy League saves leader with 111. Princeton was awarded eight penalty corners in the first half, but only managed to score once due to some tough Columbia defense. The teams went into the break even at one.
The stalemate was quickly broken in the beginning of the third quarter. Princeton took a 2-1 lead but the Columbia defense tightened up for the rest of the quarter. The Lions allowed just one more shot over the next 12 minutes.
Princeton won three penalty corners in the fourth quarter before adding the dagger. Cilluffo finished the game with five saves.
