WOOSTER, Ohio – The College of Wooster field hockey team dispatched Oberlin College 3-1 on Tuesday evening at John P. Papp Stadium.

Junior Maddie Peek emerged as Wooster's (2-4) offensive catalyst on the night. She crossed a pass from the wing to first-year Mary Johnson, who fired in team-leading goal number three of the year from about 10 yards out with :50 left in the opening quarter. Peek scored the game-winner on a rebound in the 21st minute.

First-year Natalie Katzenmeyer etched her name into the scoring column for the first time as a Fighting Scot in the 44th minute. The first-year tapped in a loose ball in the midst of a crowd in front of the cage.

Oberlin (2-3) scored first, with Vanessa Baker sliding in a goal in the sixth minute. Wooster's defense did not allow a shot the rest of the night.

Wooster outshot Oberlin 21-1 and had 10 corners to the Yeowomen's one.
