The Lions visit No. 13 Monmouth on Sunday
NEW YORK — Columbia field hockey matched No. 17 Yale through a competitive first half, but the Lions couldn't slow the Bulldogs' second half surge in a 4-1 defeat Friday at the Columbia Field Hockey Complex.
After Yale (8-2, 2-2) struck first with a goal at 10:47 of the first quarter, Columbia (5-5, 1-3) answered in the second period when Delfina Gonzalez Lobo deflected in a try from Jacinta Solari Etcheberry off the Lions' lone penalty corner of the match. The teams were tied 1-1 at halftime.
The Bulldogs pulled away in the second half. Lauren Venter found the back of the cage in the third quarter before Poppy Beales and Victoria Collee added insurance goals in the final 15 minutes of play.
The Lions registered two shots on goal compared to Yale's 12. Goalkeeper Margot Houle made eight saves for Columbia. Gonzalez Lobo and Ashley Kim each had a shot on goal for the Lions.
