NORFOLK, Va. – Two overtime periods couldn’t decide a winner, so Old Dominion’s (1-1) field hockey match went to shootouts, where the Monarchs came out victorious against American (1-3) by the score of 1-0 . ODU outscored the Eagles, 3-2 in the shootout for its first victory of the season at the L.R. Hill Sports Complex on Sunday afternoon.
The Monarchs controlled the game offensively throughout, holding a 14-6 shot advantage, and also had five penalty corner opportunities, three of which came in the two overtime periods. However, ODU was unable to cash in thanks to some diving saves from Eagle goalkeeper Fiona Minter.
