After playing two games in Virginia, the Penn field hockey team returned north with two more losses.
On Saturday, the Quakers lost, 3-2, in overtime to William & Mary, and on Sunday, they again fell, this time 3-1 to Virginia Commonwealth.
Penn (1-4) had trouble starting strong in both games, as it was outscored, 4-1, in the first half. The Quakers came back strong on Saturday, using goals from senior Rachel Eng and sophomore Laurel McGarvie to tie the game at two.
But while the Red and Blue forced overtime, they couldn't seal the deal, as William & Mary scored the game-winner in the 73rd minute.
On Sunday, the Quakers gave up three goals in the first half, despite their efforts to put on a strong defensive press. This time, Penn managed a first-half goal, from senior Margaretha Ehret, but it couldn't come up with any other offense.
