Owings Mills, Md. (October 3, 2026) — Alvernia Field Hockey (4-5, 0-1 MAC) dropped their conference opener to the No. 6 ranked Stevenson Mustangs (10-0, 1-0 MAC), 2-0, on Saturday afternoon.
The quick-strike attack of the Mustangs blew past the Golden Wolves for two first-quarter goals that had the Golden Wolves playing from behind early. After today's win, Stevenson has held nine of its 10 opponents scoreless, only conceding one goal on the season to No. 2 Salisbury in a 4-1 win.
How It Happened:

The Mustangs struck again less than five minutes later off of a corner opportunity. Addie Brandt drove a ball from the top of the arc toward the Golden Wolves' goal that was deflected by Monica Druckemiller to extend the Mustangs' lead to 2-0.
