WAYNE, N.J. – Three first half-goals, including a pair by senior Meghan Hall (Turnersville, N.J./Washington Twp.), gave the William Paterson field hockey team (3-1) a 3-0 victory against Drew (3-2) at Wightman Stadium Sept. 10.

Junior Jodi Feriod (Glassboro, N.J./Glassboro) got the scoring started for the Pioneers, converting a penalty corner pass from Tina Londino (Gloucester City, N.J./Gloucester City) 12 minutes into the contest. Hall made it a 2-0 advantage in the 24th minute, scoring her first goal of the night and her sixth of the year when she drove home junior Lauren Frazier's (Glassboro, N.J./Glassboro) pass from the top of the circle.

Collecting the ball on the end line after a broken corner, junior Christina Ayusa (Runnemede, N.J./Triton) found Hall in the middle of the circle for her second goal of the night, making it a 3-0 game 8:44 before halftime.
