The American University field hockey team rolled to a 7-1 victory over Longwood on Sunday afternoon to remain undefeated at Jacobs Field. 

American (3-1) took an early 1-0 advantage in the ninth minute of the game. Shelly Montgomery drove down the right side of the field and slipped it past the goalkeeper for the lead.

Longwood (1-3) tied it up in the 27th minute, with Nicole Deckard notching the equalizer off the assist from Meghan O'Connor. Isabel Terwindt gave the Eagles back the lead seven minutes later, collecting the rebound off the initial save by Lauren Bernard on the penalty corner. 

American was awarded a penalty stroke four minutes into the second half, and Alex McMackin put it away to give the Eagles a 3-1 lead. The advantage sparked the American offense. Natalie Konerth and Grace Parke each registered their first collegiate goals with scores just 47 seconds apart.

McMackin added her second of the day five minutes later on a penalty corner as Carly Atchison and Grace Wilson tallied the assists. The Eagles closed out the scoring in the 53rd minute with a goal from Atchison on a penalty corner. Katie Lonsky and Victoria De Kepper tallied assists on the score. 

American outshot Longwood, 26-6, for the game and held a 9-2 advantage in penalty corners.
