Lander Falls to Mount Olive, 2-0, to Close Regular Season

GREENWOOD - The Lander Field Hockey team fell behind early and couldn't find the equalizer before the Mount Olive Trojans scored a late penalty shot to ice the game to hand the Bearcats a 2-0 loss on Saturday afternoon at Frank Hill Stadium.

Lander finishes the regular season at 10-7 overall, 9-5 in South Atlantic Conference play. Mount Olive finishes at 9-7 overall and 8-6 in the league. The two teams will meet again for the third time in eight days on Monday in the SAC Tournament.

Mount Olive struck first just under two minutes in on a well-placed shot off a penalty corner that deflected off the pad of Avery Tworkoski (Bernville, Pa.) to make it 1-0.

The Trojans looked like primed to extend the lead in the third quarter but Isabel Elenga (Hillegom, Netherlands) made seven saves to keep Lander in the game.

Mount Olive iced the game with a penalty shot in the fourth quarter with under four minutes to go.

The two teams will meet again on Monday, November 4th in the South Atlantic Conference Tournament Quarterfinal. The game is scheduled for a 7:30 PM start at Frank Hill Stadium. The winner of that game will face top-seeded Newberry on Friday at Setzler Field in Newberry.
