Box Score SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.—The 16th-ranked William Smith College field hockey team fell at 20th-ranked Skidmore this afternoon, 2-0. The Herons dropped to 8-4 overall and 2-3 in the Liberty League, while the Thoroughbreds improved to 8-3 on the season and 4-1 in the conference.

William Smith sophomore forward Emily Atwan (Pomfret School/Milton, Mass.) had a breakaway opportunity with four minutes left to play in the first half, but couldn't get past Thoroughbred goalkeeper Liz Catinella.

Senior forward Kelsey Landahl (Pioneer/Delevan, N.Y.) and junior forward Kaitlyn Hamilton (Harpursville/Harpursville, N.Y.) had back-to-back chances to score in the first few minutes of the second stanza, but Catinella again came up with stops for Skidmore.
