A pair of YAIAA alumns lead Eastern University field hockey to upset win


West York grad Lauren Gay scored the game-winner and Susquehannock alum Abby Wagner notched a goal and a two assists as Eastern University knocked off No. 18 Rowan University 4-3 on Saturday morning.

Gay scored her second career goal with less than 90 seconds remaining in regulation, helping avenge a 4-3 last-second loss to Alvernia less than a week ago.

Wagner added a goal and two assists, including getting the helper on Gay's game-winner. Wagner opened the scoring with her third goal of the season, only 2:13 into the contest and also assisted on Jess Jaindl's second goal of the game.

Another West York grad, Kerri Hartnett, is also on the Eastern roster, but has not played this season.
