LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ - The La Salle Explorer field hockey team made a visit to the Rider Broncs on Tuesday afternoon in Lawrenceville.  With the loss, the Explorers stand at 2-7, while the Broncs improve to 4-2.

After 35 scoreless minutes from both teams, and a half-time break, the La Salle Explorers and Rider Broncs took to field for the second 25 minutes of play.  It took just 3:58 into the second period for the Broncs to finally find the cage, as Heather Connelly slipped a shot past goalkeeper Ellen Axelsen with the help of teammate Stephanie Walker to break the scoring drought by both teams.

After 70 minutes of play, Connelly's goal was the only shot to find its way in the cage to win the game for the Broncs.

The Explorers attempted two shots in the game, to Riders 10.  The Broncs 10 shots included seven on goal.  The teams were just about even in penalty corners, with Rider holding a 4-3 advantage.
