The Penn State field hockey team, which recently tallied a much-needed 3-1 win over the No. 11 Connecticut Huskies, will travel to Finnesey Field today to take on the St. Joseph's Hawks.

The teams last met on Sept. 10 of last season when the Nittany Lions shut out the Hawks 4-0, marking the beginning of an 11-game win streak for Penn State.

Two of the goal scorers in that game, Heather Conroy and Timarie Legel, have proved to be reliable players for the Lions this season.

Joan Broderick's Hawks are returning top players Kathy Sokalski (junior-forward) and Lauren Bradley (senior-goalkeeper).

The Hawks went 5-14 last season and had a 0-5 record in the Atlantic 10 conference.

Penn State leads the series, having never lost to St. Joseph's in their five meetings. The teams will come together for a 5:30 p.m. start time.
