Seventh-Ranked Trojans Snap Lander’s Three Game Win Streak

Mount Olive, N.C. - The Lander Field Hockey Team battled tough against the number seven team in the country but the Mount Olive Trojans proved to be too much as they would score in the second quarter and then seal the game with a goal in the fourth quarter to emerge with a 2-0 victory. The loss drops Lander to 7-7 overall, however this was a non-conference game in the standings so the Bearcats still sit at 5-6 in SAC play and will play for a bid in the conference tournament next week against Limestone. 

The first half was a fairly even match as Sophie Schmitz and Lauren Punt, the two goal scorers in Tuesday's game against Coker, would force saves from the Mount Olive keeper early. However, the Trojans would strike with just over two minutes left in the half on a tip-in goal to give the hosts a 1-0 lead going into the break.

Kelsey Gibbons and Isabel Elenga would do their best to keep Lander in the game as they would each record four saves a piece in the second half but Mount Olive would find a goal in the 56th minute that would ice the game and give the Trojans their 12th straight win.

The Lander Field Hockey Team will travel to Gaffney, S.C. on Friday to face the Limestone saints. The teams sit at the three and four spots, respectively, in the Mountain Division and the winner of that game will secure the division's final spot into the SAC tournament and set up a date with the Belmont Abbey Crusaders in the first round. That game is scheduled to start at 6:30 PM.
