POUGHKEEPSIE — Annie Rosencrans '12 became the 11th player in program history to record 100 career points as the 6th-ranked Skidmore College field hockey team earned a 2-1 victory at Vassar.

Rosencrans tallied her 10th goal of the season at the 32:36 mark, redirecting a shot from the top from Katie Flowers '12 to make it 1-0. At the 53:33 mark, Kelly Blackhurst '14 scored her 21st of the season off a pass from Rosencrans, giving Rosencrans 100 career points.

Vassar cut the lead to 2-1 a few minutes later on a goal from Tina Caso, but the Thoroughbreds were able to hold on for the 2-1 victory.
