PHILADELPHIA -- The La Salle University field hockey team (3-4) saw a late rally fall short as they dropped a 3-2 decision to Georgetown (6-1) on Sunday afternoon at Hank DeVincent field. 

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Georgetown took possession and registered a goal off of a foul to tie up the game 1-1 four minutes before halftime.
• The second half saw the Hoyas pull ahead with a goal in the first two minutes of play to put the score at 2-1.

• Georgetown found the back of the cage at the 45:14 mark for another tally to put the margin at two.
• Oh responded, scoring with just under five minutes left on the clock to trim the margin to 3-2. 
• Despite several promising attacks, La Salle could not convert on an equalizing attempt prior to the final buzzer.
