Artman Hits 100-Point Milestone in 4-2 Loss at Wittenberg

Amanda Artman became just the sixth player in College of Wooster field hockey history to reach 100 career points, however, it came in a losing effort as rival Wittenberg University knocked off the Fighting Scots 4-2 Saturday morning at Springfield, Ohio.

Artman, a junior, accounted for both Wooster goals, which gives her 101 points (39 goals, 23 assists) in just 37 career games. She missed all but one game and one half of her sophomore season due to injury.

Wittenberg (9-5, 6-4 NCAC) broke out to a 3-0 halftime lead, keyed by two scores just 2:58 apart late in the first. Despite what the scoreboard read, it had been an evenly played half with each squad attempting six shots.

The Scots (10-4, 7-1 NCAC) made things interesting with a tally 6:54 into the second half, as Artman emerged from a penalty corner with an unassisted goal. The Tigers' Boo Vernon, though, helped seal the win with her third goal of the day at the 15:04 mark. Artman contributed a late score, coming on a penalty corner again, this time with an assist from Stephanie Standera.

Wooster will be right back in action Sunday at DePauw University (8-2).
