DEDHAM, MA – Despite holding a 22-9 shot advantage and receiving two goals from freshman Yasmin Pratt, the Monmouth University field hockey team fell at Northeastern, 3-2, in overtime, Sunday afternoon at Dedham Field.

Northeastern scored off a penalty corner 7:23 into the game to earn the early lead before Pratt registered her first of the afternoon off a feed from Stefanie Bigler 10 minutes into the second quarter.
