ONEONTA, NY – Hartwick scored the first goal of the game 5:33 into the match but Union would tie it and rally for four goals in the second half in a 5-1 victory over the Hawks in non-conference field hockey at Wright Stadium.
           
Claudia Stone (Akron, NY/Akron) scored her fifth of the season after a nice feed from the side from Mikaelan Stuligross (Walton, NY/Walton). Stuligross served a hard cross from the right side to Stone, who one-timed the ball into the far corner for the Hartwick lead.
