COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- The University of Michigan field hockey team put on an offensive clinic Sunday (Sept. 21) at Maryland's Field Hockey and Lacrosse Complex, routing James Madison 9-1 to close out its weekend road trip. Seven different Wolverines scored in the win, including senior April Fronzoni (Larksville, Pa./Wyoming Valley West HS), who recorded her second hat trick of the year with the game's first three goals.

Michigan (5-3), with wins in five of its last six games, dominated the Dukes, outshooting JMU by a 21-8 margin while taking 12 corners to James Madison's four. Freshman goalkeeper Beth Riley (Palmyra, Pa./Palmyra Area HS) got her third win in as many appearances, stopping five of the six shots that went on net.

Fronzoni scored her first two goals just over five minutes apart, netting markers at 2:56 and 8:02 of the first half. After that, the score remained 2-0 until 11 seconds into the second half, when Fronzoni struck again, sparking a seven-goal stanza for the Wolverines. Junior Jessica Blake (Perth, Western Austrailia/St. Mary's Anglican School) and senior Stephanie Johnson (Houston, Texas/The Kinkaid School) made the score 5-0 with goals at 37:36 and 38:59, while junior Anneke Huntzicker (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer HS) and freshman Mary Fox (St. Louis, Mo./Cor Jesu Academy) scored twice in four minutes to push the lead to 7-0.

Junior Adrienne Hortillosa (Chula Vista, Calif./Bonita Vista HS) and senior Kristi Gannon (Escondido, Calif./San Pasqual HS) rounded out the scoring for the Wolverines to make it 9-0 before James Madison broke the shutout at 59:51.

Michigan will remain on the road next weekend, opening defense of its Big Ten Conference title on Friday (Sept. 26) at Northwestern. Game time is slated for 3 p.m. CDT at Lakeside Field on the Northwestern campus.
