SWARTHMORE, Pa. - The No. 24 Swarthmore College field hockey team fell to Haverford College, 1-0, in a shootout on Saturday night. The Garnet secured the No. 3 seed in the Centennial Conference Tournament and will host Bryn Mawr in the opening round. 

Swarthmore dominated the majority of the game as they held Haverford without a shot for the final 66-minutes of regulation and overtime. The Garnet outshot the Fords 16-3 with an 18-3 advantage in corners. However, despite the lopsided stat sheet, the Fords bested the Garnet 3-2 in the shootout. 

Before tonight's contest, the team honored Katherine Kohn, Grace Fuselier, Elizabeth Zack and Sophia Hitchingham for their dedication and contributions to the field hockey program. 

HOW IT HAPPENED

Haverford outshot the Garnet 3-1 in the stanza, but did not attempt a shot for the remainder of the game.
