FRANKLIN, Mass. - The Western Connecticut State University Wolves and the Dean College Bulldogs each took 19 shots, but the visiting Wolves managed just one goal and suffered a 4-1 setback in field hockey action this afternoon at Grant Field.  WestConn drops to 1-1 and the Bulldogs improve to 2-0.  Sophomore Jaelyn Moulton (Stafford Springs, Conn.) scored the Wolves goal.  WestConn will host Framingham State next on Saturday at 1 p.m.

Dean's Katrina Lee scored the lone goal of the first half with 5:31 left in the opening quarter.  Senior forward Reagan Schoen (Newtown, Conn.) tallied the only WestConn shot of the first frame, but it was stopped on a defensive save by Dean's Kelsey Blair.  The teams combine for just three shots-on-goal in the second quarter but Emma Cragen gave Dean a 2-0 lead with a goal less than two minutes into the third stanza.  Junior midfielder Cassidy Nordmann (Bethel, Conn.) fed Moulton for a goal with six minutes left in the third that cut WestConn's deficit in half.  

Cragen and Lee scored early goals for Dean in the fourth quarter to make the score, 4-1. Schoen got off four shots-on-goal and senior Vanesa Dominguez took another, but Bulldog goalie Sara Gardner made saves on all of them.  Sophomore Jaden Kilmer (East Islip, N.Y.) made six saves for the Wolves.
