Springfield, MA - Husson field hockey fell to Springfield College, 2-1, in the first game of the Zenaty Invitational Saturday afternoon at Stagg Field.

The Pride answered back three minutes after with a goal from Linnea Quist (New Preston, Conn.). Springfield's Kristina Krull (Leicester, Mass.) sent a crossing pass to Quist who finished from 5 yards out.

Springfield struck again with 14 minutes left to play off a penalty stroke from Krull, burying it past Husson goalkeeper Kaitlin Dolloff (Richmond, R.I.) into the top-right corner.

The Pride outshot the Eagles 21-11, as junior goalkeeper Timarie Villa (Mashpee, Mass.) picked up her first win of the season with 9 saves.
