LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ - The Rider field hockey team scored two first half goals and kept La Salle scoreless in a 2-0 victory on Friday night in non-conference action. Sophomore Haley Jennings had three defensive saves while freshman Lisa Shaffer stopped a career-best 16 shots in goal.

Virginia Egusquiza, the reigning NEC Player of the Year, scored in the 21st minute to get the Broncs (2-0) on the board and Eefje Kok followed five minutes later for the only goals in the contest.

Jennings' career-high three defensive saves were one of four on the night for the Explorers (1-1). Junior Rebecca Chylack also stopped one for her fourth career defensive save.

Shaffer's 16 saves were the most by an Explorer since Emma Ruth stopped 20 shots on August 28, 2009 at Drexel.
