WASHINGTON, D.C. - La Salle field hockey (5-7) took a break from their A-10 Conference slate, falling on the road to Georgetown 3-1 on Sunday afternoon. 

HOW IT HAPPENED:

• The Hoyas answered late in the period, as Sophia Towne found the back of the cage with 1:28 to go in the third to put Georgetown up 2-1. 
• The Hoyas extended that lead in the fourth on a breakaway goal by Emma Veen der van to bring the final to 3-1.
