LANCASTER, Pa. - Field hockey returned to the Home of Hockey, Spooky Nook Sports in Lancaster, Pa., as the No. 12 U.S. Women’s National Team hosted No. 13 Belgium in their fifth FIH Pro League game. Just a few months removed from their previous meetings on the same turf, USA was hungry for a victory and points in front of the large home crowd. Down late in the contest, USA tied the game in the 50th minute before moving to a shootout at the end of regulation. In the fourth round of sudden victory shootout, Linnea Gonzales (Bel Air, Md.) fired a backhand shot into the goal to secure the red, white and blue's 5-4 victory and extra point.
