09/14/2009 - John Carroll's girls' junior varsity field hockey team defeated Seton Keough, 1-0, Monday in a game played at John Carroll in Bel Air, MD.

John Carroll started out on the defensive and Seton Keough applied some offensive pressure, but the Patriots' defense stayed tough. John Carroll's offense then came to life and started to take control of the game, keeping the ball in the Seton Keough end of the field.

With 10 minutes, 24 seconds left in the first half, Erin Cullinan put one in the back of the net to give the Patriots a 1-0 lead.

The second half featured the JC offense in control for much of the time, and when Keough did bring the ball down, the defense tightened up and allowed few opportunities in the circle.
