USA Field Hockey Women Coast to 7-1 Win Over Barbados at Pan Am Cup
BRIDGERTOWN, Barbados. – The USA field hockey team got
off to a quick start and coasted to a 7-1 victory over host Barbados at the 2nd

FIH Women’s World Cup.
The USA jumped out to an
early 4-0 lead as Kristen McCann, Angie Loy, Tracey Fuchs and
Kate Barber collected goals in the first 15 minutes of the game. The USA continued its
domination through the first half as Mimi Smith and Fuchs connected on penalty corner
attempts to give the U.S. a 6-0 halftime lead.
Keli Smith added to
the USA advantage early in
the second half with a field goal in the 43rd minute before Barbados avoided the shutout
with a penalty corner goal from Tricia Ann Greaves. Greaves
is a former standout at Hofstra Univ. and was reunited with
Hofstra head coach Kathy De Angelis at the tournament. De Angleis is serving as an
assistant coach for the Barbados team.

gave her four tallies in the tournament while Loy collected her third score of the event.

2-0 at the tournament while outscoring its opponents 15-1. Barbados drops to 0-2 at the
