GALLOWAY, N.J. – Junior Erin Gluck recorded a natural hat trick, but the Swarthmore College field hockey team was dealt a 6-3 loss against Richard Stockton on Thursday, Sept. 4 at the Stockton Turf Field.
 
Swarthmore faced a three-goal deficit at the break and a four-goal margin early in the second half before attempting a furious rally.

Richard Stockton (2-0), however, recovered late in the second half and scored two more times to pull away. Lindsey Treptow and Samantha Barcia each found the back of the cage in the 51st and 60th minutes to seal the final outcome.
 
Senior Liz Stankiewicz of Richard Stockton picked up the shutout victory in the cage by making four saves. Swarthmore junior Ainsley Parrish turned away 13 shots in the setback.
 
Swarthmore (0-3) returns to action on Saturday, Sept. 6 when it visits Widener at noon.
