PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania field hockey team fell in its second City 6 game of the season, as No. 13 Saint Joseph's came away with a 5-1 win Sunday afternoon at Ellen Ryan Field on Hawk Hill.
 
Freshman Darcey Chapman scored the lone goal for the Quakers with Julia Ryan recording the assist.
 
Quaker Notemeal
*Ryan has registered five points in Penn's last three games. It's the first time in her career she has recorded at least one point in three straight games. She is also three points away from tying her 2023 season total.
 
*Chapman's goal was the first of her collegiate career. In her last three games, she has racked up three shots, including two on goal.
 
*SJU's Erika Culp and Julia Duffhuis scored two goals each.
 
How It Happened
The first quarter was a defensive affair, as neither team registered a shot nor a penalty corner and action inside the circles was scarce.
 
Both teams got on the board in the second quarter, with the Hawks striking first. Two minutes into the quarter, Manu Ghigliotti crossed a ball to Culp, who buried it for a lead.
 
Midway through the second, though, Penn was awarded the first penalty corner of the game. Ryan took it and find Chapman finished to tie the contest at 1-1 at the half.
 
In the third quarter, the Hawks separated themselves from the Quakers.

The Hawks dictated the offensive pace and were awarded their first penalty corner five minutes into the third. Duffhuis scored once to break the tie, then again two minutes later off another penalty corner. SJU added another goal as time expired in the period, after getting a penalty corner on the final play of the quarter. Celeste Smits ripped it past Ruby de Frees to make it a 4-1 game going into the fourth quarter.
 
In the fourth, the Hawks added another goal. Once again Ghigliotti found Culp to extend SJU's lead to four, which would hold for the rest of the game.
