NEWTON, MA- Junior Jessica Strock (Centerville, MA/Barnstable) broke a 27th-minute tie before netting the winner less than 10 minutes later to lead the Wheaton College field hockey team past Lasell College, 4-2 on Saturday at Grellier Field. The Lyons improved to 3-1 while staying undefeated in four meetings with the Lasers. The hosts remained winless at 0-3.

Strock tallied two goals and an assist for Wheaton, while sophomore Emily Asack (Stoughton, MA/Stoughton) notched one marker and two helpers. Senior Andrea Bagley (Foxboro, MA/Foxboro) made four saves.

The Lyons held advantages of 24-9 in shots and 10-1 in penalty corners, pressing Lasell sophomore keeper Erin Norton (Yarmouth, ME/Yarmouth) into making 10 stops.

Senior Alex Block (Saratoga, CA/Saratoga) put Wheaton in front after 9:49, with the marker tying her for sixth in program history with 21 career tallies. She also moved into a tie for eighth in school annals with 50 points.

Lasell knotted the contest in the 20th minute, but Strock struck off an Asack feed at 26:48 to put the Lyons on top heading into intermission. The tandem converted the eventual game-winner just 9:30 later, with Strock's second marker making it 3-1 at 36:18. The hosts forged a one-goal game at 40:11, but Asack produced the final tally at 49:52 thanks to Strock's assist.
