MORRISVILLE, NY (October 17, 2026) -- The King's College field hockey team picked up goals from Amelia Mason and Gwen Erb but fell to SUNY Morrisville, 6-2, in non-conference action Saturday afternoon at Drake Field. The Monarchs move to 1-13 on the season, while the Mustangs level their record at 5-5 overall.
 
SUNY Morrisville controlled much of the opening quarter, generating steady offensive pressure before breaking through at the 13:36 mark to take a 1-0 lead. The Mustangs doubled their advantage early in the second period with another tally, but King's responded midway through the quarter.
 
After the Monarchs earned several opportunities deep in the attacking zone, Amelia Mason found the back of the cage at the 25:45 mark to cut the deficit in half. The goal was Mason's second of the season and brought King's within one goal of knotting things up.
 
The Monarchs continued to create chances following Mason's strike. Gwen Erb recorded multiple shots on goal during the quarter and forced the Mustangs to make several defensive plays, but SUNY Morrisville regained momentum with a goal in the closing seconds of the first half to take a 3-1 lead into the break.
 
The hosts added two more goals during the third quarter to extend their advantage before finding the cage once again late in regulation.
 
King's continued to battle until the final whistle and was rewarded in the closing minute. With 35 seconds remaining, Erb scored her third goal of the season to account for the final 6-2 margin.
 
Erb paced the Monarch attack with four shots, all on goal, while Shaylee Heffron added three shots on target. Ella Hughes contributed two shots as the Monarchs finished the afternoon with 12 total shots and eight penalty corners.
 
In goal, Tierney Hogan recorded 12 saves for King's. Destiny Keller also added a defensive save during the second quarter to help keep the Monarchs within striking distance.
 
The Monarchs return to Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Freedom play on October 21 when they travel to Center Valley, PA for a meeting with DeSales at 6:00 p.m.
