WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J.- Junior forward Hollee Hooven registered two goals and the Hawks received individual contributions from three separate players, as Monmouth (4-9, 2-2) defeated the Siena Saints (2-9, 2-3) at Monmouth Field Hockey Complex in West Long Branch Friday afternoon.

The Hawks owned the first half of play, scoring four unanswered goals in the 35-minute session. Hooven tallied the game's first goal nearly two minutes in on a reverse stick. A minute and a half later, freshman Kelly Crist received a rebound off of a shot and fired it past Saints' goalkeeper Jennifer Tesak (New Hartford, N.Y./New Hartford), to give the Hawks a two-goal advantage just four minutes into the first half.
After Annie LoPresti and Hooven scored back-to-back goals to give the Hawks a 4-0 advantage at halftime, the Saints finally got on the board when Baldwin scored off of an Emily Winslow (Webster, N.Y./Webster-Schroeder) assist. Winslow now leads the team in assists with three.
The Hawks put the game away at the 65:43 mark when sophomore forward Janine Rini tallied an unassisted goal, giving Monmouth a four-goal victory at home.
Playing the entire game at goal, Tesak amassed 14 saves, surpassing teammate Renee Clavette (Danville, N.H./Timberland) with a team-high 62 saves.
