IMMACULATA, Pa.- The Immaculata field hockey team made its long awaited return to Draper Walsh Stadium on Saturday afternoon to take on King's College in the second game of a doubleheader inside the confines of Draper Walsh Stadium. Immaculata jumped out to an early first quarter lead with the first and only goal of the contest during the opening frame and used this early lead to earn its first victory of the season, topping King's by a final of 1-0.

In the first quarter, Immaculata applied steady pressure to King's, which resulted in the Macs scoring the games first goal in the 9^th minute when Lauren Vandenbraak delivered a pass across the middle to the stick of Kelsey Corbett who converted to give the Macs the early 1-0 lead heading into the second quarter.

In the second quarter, Immaculata and King's both stood tall defensively as neither side was able to crack the goal column thanks in large part to a pair of back-to-back saves from freshman goalkeeper Julia Levase following a King's penalty corner. With this defensive effort, immaculata managed to carry a slim 1-0 lead into the halftime break.

In the third quarter, King's applied steady pressure to the Immaculata defense but freshman goalkeeper Julia Levase made a pair of saves and the Macs defense stiffened when necessary to keep King's off the scoreboard and preserve a slim 1-0 lead heading into the fourth and final quarter of play.

In the fourth quarter, King's generated a late push, which included a penalty corner with just 52 seconds to play but Lauren Vandenbraak did well to break up the opportunity. King's did manage to generate another shot in the final seconds of regulation but Levase stood tall and made her fifth save of the afternoon to earn her first career shutout and victory in a 1-0 decision over King's.

Immaculata and King's ended the game tied at 12 shots apiece while King's ended the contest with a slim 7-5 edge in penalty corners.

Immaculata will be back in action on Tuesday afternoon against Widener with that contest set to begin at 4 p.m.
