ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 7-ranked University of Michigan field hockey team produced its greatest goal output in 45 years in its home opener, rolling to a 13-0 rout against Bellarmine on Sunday (Sept. 7) at Phyllis Ocker Field.

The effort ties for the second-most goals in a game in Michigan's 53-year program history. The Wolverines' single-game record is 14 goals, recorded in a 14-0 win against Olivet in 1980, while U-M has one other 13-goal game, a 13-0 win against Adrian in 1977.

The Wolverines earned goals from nine different players, including a hat trick from sophomore Dru Moffett and two goals apiece from graduate student Abby Tamer and junior/sophomore Payton Maloney. Moffett was also one of three players to register their first collegiate goal, joining freshman Maxine Rogge and sophomore Natalie Machiran.

Rogge scored the first and game-winning goal off a broken corner -- U-M's first of the game -- at the 5:32 mark. Fellow freshman Lexi Patterson corralled the ball after it got past the stick stop and sent it back into the circle to Rogge, who swept it from the middle to the lower right corner. Patterson earned her first collegiate point with the assist -- one of two in the game.

Rogge, who assisted on Tamer's late game-winner last week against Wake Forest, also assisted on both of the Olympian's goals today -- corner tips at 12:19 and 34:01. Three of Michigan's first seven goals came off its corner attack.

Maloney similarly scored her goals in the first and third quarters, at 9:48 and 39:06. Junior/sophomore Kelsey Reviello set up the former, carrying the ball into the circle on the right baseline and feeding it through a scrum on the nearside post; the ball popped through behind the Bellarmine goalkeeper, and Maloney tapped it into the open cage. She also tapped in a goal on a rebound shot from junior Juliette Manzur that just got past the goalie. Manzur herself finished the game with a goal and two assists.

Moffett scored each of the final three goals as part of a busy five-goal fourth. Her first goal was the Wolverines' third of the quarter at 47:06 -- just over two minutes into the frame -- and was also set up by Reviello, who intercepted a pass on the left sideline at the Bellarmine 25 and fed it up to Moffett, who carried it in and sent a shot cross cage to the right side. Her second and third goals, at 51:28 and 55:31, were carbon copies of each other with right-side baseline carries from junior Natalie Millman and Patterson, respectively, a pass across the goal mouth and a redirected shot near the left post.

Machiran scored off her own baseline carry for her first collegiate goal earlier in the game at 25:47. Fifth-year senior Emmy Tran received the ball near the Knight 25 and dished a pass to the left baseline, where Machiran batted along a bouncing ball until knocking it to the far side of the cage.

Michigan also earned goals from Millman, sophomore Cami Wiseman and senior/junior Zoë Bormet. It was the first of the season for all three.

In all, U-M outshot the Knights, 40-1, and outcornered them, 10-1. Junior/sophomore Hala Silverstein and graduate student Caylie McMahon played a half apiece to combine for Michigan's first shutout of the season. Bellarmine missed wide on a penalty corner late in the second quarter for its lone shot of the game. Knight goalkeepers Kailey Workman and Megan Clauser combined for 10 saves on Michigan's 23 shots on goal.

Michigan (2-1) will return to the road next weekend with a pair of non-conference games in the Golden State. U-M will take on UC Davis at 1 p.m. PT on Friday (Sept. 12) at the Aggie Field Hockey Facility in Davis, Calif., and Stanford at noon PT on Sunday (Sept. 14) at Laird Q. Cagan Stadium in Palo Alto, Calif. Both games will be streamed on ESPN platforms -- on ESPN+ Friday and ACCNX on Sunday.
