Field Hockey Extends Winning Streak to Three

Bainer and Camryn each found the back of the cage, as CMU defeated Colgate 2-1
Hamilton, N.Y. – Central Michigan Field Hockey took on the Colgate Raiders Friday afternoon in a non-conference matchup. The Chippewas came out on top 2-1, marking their third consecutive victory.
The Chippewas have not won three consecutive games since 2014, when the program took down Ball State, Longwood, and Miami (OH) over the course of seven days.
Sophomore keeper Jenna Billig started the day in goal for the Chippewas. She logged three saves through the first 15 minutes and faced three Raider penalty corners.
Colgate found their first and only goal of the match three minutes into the second quarter, capitalizing on the fallout of a penalty corner.
The Chippewas, in typical fashion of the 2025 squad, responded quickly. Just two minutes later the CMU drew a penalty corner where Junior Hailey Bainer snuck a shot between the legs of the Raiders' keeper after the insert from Senior Amelia Lane. The goal was Bainer's first of her collegiate career, and Lane's first assist of the season.
The CMU defense then went on an outstanding run, not allowing a shot on target until the 52nd minute, when Colgate took one off a corner. The Raiders' shot went past keeper Ashley Cogger, who subbed in for Billig at the half, and was stopped when Freshman Pleun Van Gent was able to swoop in and collect her second defensive save of the season.
"We wanted to get corners, that was a big focus for us." CMU Head Coach Jennifer Johnstone noted on strategy heading into the fourth quarter. The team did just that, drawing seven corners in the final quarter.
With only two minutes left in regulation, Senior Mallory Camryn was able to put home the game winner for the second game in a row. Camryn was set up by Freshman Mora Rulli when she fed the ball down low to Camryn, who made a move around the keeper to put the Chippewas up by one. The goal was Camryn's seventh of the season, and Rulli's third assist.
"Corners were definitely a big thing for us coming into this game. We knew if we got corners, that was our chance to execute. I'm happy that we converted on two."
Ashley Cogger finished the game with one save, coming from a last-minute attempt by the Raiders to even the game.
"Colgate is a scrappy team, it's usually a battle for us. We came out strong, we dominated the first quarter, and we finished the game strong in the fourth quarter. The biggest message for us right now is as we get closer to conference play, we need to play four quarters of field hockey. We need to play four quarters of our field hockey."
Alongside Bainer's first career goal, she played the full 60 minutes, put up six shots, and recorded four of the Chippewa's nine shots on goal.
CMU Field Hockey will look to extend their winning streak to four this Saturday, as the team stays in Hamilton for a neutral site game against the Long Island Sharks at 1:00 p.m.
