Monmouth field hockey wrapped up a four-game homestand with two dominant wins, adding to an undefeated record on the season.
On Sept. 5, Monmouth played Temple University, securing a 5-2 win. The first goal came at the 9:31 mark from sophomore forward Claire Campen, who has scored in all games so far this season.
Freshman forward Alicia Vanderlyde scored the Hawks second goal at the 17:32 mark, which was her second of the season.
In the second quarter, junior midfielder Lauren Relik deflected in a shot from sophomore midfielder/forward Keely Bowers for the Hawks’ third goal.
Junior defender Anna Moors then weaved through Temple’s defense, finishing at close range to make it 4–0.
Temple responded with two quick goals in the fourth, but Relik sealed the win with her second of the game at the 58:35 mark.
The Hawks kept the momentum going on Sunday with a 7–1 win over Rider University.
Rider struck first, as junior forward Emma Bonshak found the net at the 12:29 mark, their only goal of the game.
Moors leveled the score at the 25:17 mark with a reverse sweep that slid between the legs of sophomore goalkeeper Jade Regnart. Moors now leads the team in scoring with 12 points.
Campen gave the Hawks their first lead of the day, scoring in both the second and third quarters.
Just 33 seconds later, Monmouth added two quick goals from freshman defender Florence Van Doorn and Relik, both coming off penalty corners.
Emily Singer notched her first goal of the season at the 40:08 mark after another goal was disallowed moments before.
Bowers capped off the scoring late in the game, securing the team’s seventh and final goal.
Monmouth’s relentless offense forced Regnart to make 12 saves in defeat.
With these wins, Monmouth remains tied for first in the CAA 2025 Field Hockey Standings, although the conference has not yet begun league play.
Sunday’s game also marked head coach Carli Figlio’s 200th career win as her 18th season at Monmouth is underway.
The Hawks will look to keep their undefeated streak alive when they face Lehigh University on Sept. 12.
