Senior forward Mandi Ruth scored two goals, including the game-winning one, to lead the field hockey team to a 4-3 win against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
After splitting their first two games against La Salle and Penn in the Big 5 Tournament, Jackie Morrison, Yun Yi Zhang and Chelsea Tupuola led the Owls back from a 5-1 deficit to beat Villanova.
The Owls are off to their best conference start in 25 years. Their 6-0 record has come thanks to solid pitching and the red-hot bat of A-10 Player of the Week and team captain Carmen Del Mastro.
Coach Bonnie Rosen led the Owls to the conference championship last season. But now, they look to retain the crown with nine rookies on the team roster.
