EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Junior goalkeeper Sophie Mooldijk made 15 saves, but the Longwood field hockey team suffered a 5-0 loss at Michigan State Sunday afternoon in non-conference action at Ralph Young Field.

How It Happened

• The Spartans (5-8, 0-5 Big Ten) found the back of the net just 6:01 into the contest when Serena Mailhe found Mora Cavazza, who scored her first goal of the day. 
• Cavazza struck again in the second, at 18:08, assisted by Carmen Maudlin. Mooldijk kept the Spartans off the board for the rest of the half, making seven saves. 
• The Lancers had a chance to draw with a goal early in the third quarter. Junior Brenna Kadjeski's shot on game was stopped by Michigan State goalkeeper Lola Munoz de Verger in the 33rd minute. 
• Mailhe scored less than two minutes later, at 34:28, to put the Spartans up 3-0.
• Lilian Knorr capped the scoring with goals to end the third quarter, at 42:18, and the fourth quarter, at 57:31.
