WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ – The Rider University field hockey team fell on the road to hOUrglass rival Monmouth, 5-1, on Sunday afternoon in non-conference action at So Sweet A Cat Field.  
 
The Broncs (7-3) saw their five-game winning streak come to an end, while the Hawks (7-4) scored their second victory in a row.
 
After a Rider goal was called back in the second quarter, Monmouth took advantage with a pair of goals midway through the second quarter. The markers would be the only tallies during the first 30 minutes of play as the host Hawks took a 2-0 lead into halftime.
 
Early in the quarter, Monmouth stretched their lead to four with a pair of strikes off penalty corners.
 
Freshman Sierra Giuliano (Franklinville, NJ/Delsea Regional) got the guests on the board with her first career goal. Off a penalty corner in the fourth quarter, Julia Divorra (Terrassa, Spain/Vedruna Vall) saw her shot turned aside by the Monmouth keeper before Giuliano cashed in the rebound.
