MUNCIE, Ind. -- The University of Michigan field hockey team upped its record to 2-1 with a dominating 6-1 victory over Ball State Wednesday afternoon (Sept. 1). Kelli Gannon (Escondido, Calif./San Pasqual HS) had a goal and an assist to lead Michigan's balanced offensive attack, which outshot the Cardinals 35-11 in producing U-M's second straight six-goal game.

Senior captain Ashley Reichenbach (Palmyra, Pa./Palmyra HS) scored her first career goal to open the U-M scoring barrage just 4:46 into the contest. Freshmen Stephanie Johnson (Houston, Texas/The Kinkaid School) and Molly Powers (Oak Park, Ill./Oak Park-River Forest HS) along with sophomore Laura Stinson (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer HS) each netted her first career goal, and Johnson's proved to be the game-winner.

Also figuring in on the Michigan scoring was sophomore speedster Jessie Veith (Oak Park, Ill./Oak Park-River Forest HS), a high school teammate of Powers.

After playing its first three games on the road, Michigan will open its home schedule Sunday, Sept. 5, by playing host to Northeastern University at 1 p.m. at Ocker Field.
