Greene 5, Oxford 2

OXFORD – Greene had five different players score goals and raced to a 2-0 halftime lead en route to a win over Oxford Thursday in the Blackhawks’ field hockey tournament.

Sara Ostrander and Megan Boeltz set the tone with first-half goals. “We were really aggressive on offense and good around the cage,” said Greene coach Sue Carlin. “We had a lot of second and third chances.”

Stephanie Washburn, freshman Chrissy Conroe, and Hillary Huttleston added goals for Greene, who received big defensive efforts from Mary Rutz, Laci Williams, while senior midfielder Amanda Barton made a strong return to the field after missing last year with an injury.

Oxford’s Jenna Farwell tallied her fifth goal of the season and Vanessa Pierson added a late goal for the Blackhawks (2-1).
