CARLISLE, Pa. – The Swarthmore College field hockey team won its seventh consecutive game and remained unbeaten in Centennial Conference play with a 4-2 victory at Dickinson College on Saturday afternoon.
 
Hayley Harris scored twice on a pair of penalty strokes to lead the Garnet while Katherine Kohn and Anna Stancofski also found the back of the cage. Swarthmore had a 16-15 edge in shots and an 11-9 advantage in penalty corners.
 
The Garnet's seven-game win streak is their longest since 1997-98, when they claimed nine straight victories across two seasons. It is the longest streak within one season since Swarthmore triumphed in its first 11 contests in 1997.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Red Devils struck first on the opening shot of the game in the eighth minute, beating the goalkeeper from the middle of the scoring area.
 
- The Garnet answered with a dominating 30-second stretch that resulted in their first goal. Swarthmore had three penalty corners and got off three shots before being awarded a penalty stroke. Harris put the ball into the back left corner to tie it at one in the 12^th minute.
 
- Kohn put the Garnet in front less than two minutes into the second quarter. Sarah Cooper sent a long pass towards the goalmouth and Kohn cut in to tap it past the keeper for a 2-1 lead.
 
- Dickinson had a prime chance to even it up in the 21^st minute but the shot found the post. Instead, Harris increased Swarthmore's cushion to two with another penalty stroke in the 24^th minute, this time to the right side of the cage.
 
- Stancofski batted in a rebound in front in the 36^th minute to put the Garnet up three (4-1) in the third quarter.
 
- The Red Devils closed the gap to two with a goal off a penalty corner with just over six minutes to play in the fourth. Swarthmore did not allow another shot on goal in closing out the victory.
