ASTON, Pa. – The Neumann University field hockey team dropped an exciting 2-1 overtime game to Stevenson University on Friday evening in the 2013 opening game.

It would take overtime for the game to be decided as Stevenson was the team who could capitalize and scored the winning goal in the 81^st minute.

As both halves came to an end, the Mustangs were awarded penalty corners, but the Knights held their ground on each occasion and the score would not change.
