PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. – Junior Katie Thies (Liverpool, N.Y./Cicero North Syracuse HS) scored the game's only goal and sophomore Mia Trottie (Cinnaminson, N.J./Bishop Eustace HS) recorded the shutout as Bentley University blanked Pace University, 1-0, in Northeast-10 Conference field hockey Saturday at Pace Stadium.

With just about a minute left in the third quarter, Theis picked up a loose ball outside the circle, drove towards the goal and fired it into the left corner of the cage from about 10 yards. It was her fifth of the season and second game-winner.

Trottie made three saves in the evenly played game. Both teams were credited with eight shots and Bentley had a slight edge in penalty corners, 5-4.

Bentley, with its second straight win, climbed over .500 to 7-6 overall and improved to 5-3 NE10. Pace dropped to 6-7 overall and 3-5 conference.

The Falcons are also on the road Wednesday for a 7 pm contest at Southern Connecticut State.
