ALLENTOWN, Pa.- The Immaculata field hockey team (1-16, 1-5 CSAC) earned their first victory of the 2015 campaign in fine fashion with a 6-0 shutout victory over Cedar Crest (2-14, 1-5 CSAC) on Tuesday afternoon in Allentown.

The game was scoreless for the first 20 minutes despite steady domination from the Mighty Macs.  IU finally opened the flood gates in the 21^st minute as Burkholder scored the first goal of her collegiate career off the goalie's pads for a 1-0 IU lead.
 
The Mighty Mac offense then opened up as Donegan scored exactly two minutes later, and would add her second goal of the game and team-leading fifth of the year in the 31^st minute to give Immaculata a 3-0 lead at halftime.
 
In the second half, it was Dominick's turn to take the game over on the offensive end as she scored goals in the 53^rd and 59^th minutes, her third and fourth of the season, to extend the advantage to 5-0.
 
Williams would add the first of her career off a penalty corner in the 63^rd minute to get to the 6-0 final.
 
The Mighty Macs will look to head into the offseason with a two-game winning streak as they close out the season on Thursday afternoon at Notre Dame at 4 p.m.
