Lander Blanks Coker 4–0 to Close SAC Slate

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Lander Field Hockey team jumped out to a 2–0 lead in less than four minutes and never looked back as the Bearcats rolled to a 4–0 victory over the Coker Cobras on Saturday afternoon at the Coker Athletic Field, wrapping up South Atlantic Conference play for both teams.

With the win, Lander improves to 12–3 overall and 7–3 in SAC play, locking in the No. 3 seed for the upcoming SAC Tournament. The Bearcats will host a quarterfinal match for the third consecutive season, with details to be announced following the conclusion of conference play next week.

Lander wasted no time finding the back of the cage, as Victoria Hulst fired a quick restart from the top of the circle into the upper corner just 1:47 into the game to give the Bearcats the early lead.

Just over two minutes later, Julia Matthijssen inserted a penalty corner to Hulst, who returned the pass to Matthijssen in front of goal, where she found Dusty-Rose Miller for a tap-in finish that doubled the advantage to 2–0 - her fourth goal in as many games.

Matthijssen struck again in the 19th minute, redirecting a shot from Hulst off another penalty corner to make it 3–0. In the fourth quarter, Mare Huizer capped off the scoring in the 56th minute after receiving a feed from Olivia Bond.

The Bearcat defense continued its dominant form, not allowing a single shot while recording its fourth straight shutout and sixth of the season. Goalkeepers Isabel Elenga and Avery Tworkoski combined for the clean sheet, with neither needing to make a save.

The two teams will meet again next Saturday (Nov. 1) at Frank Hill Stadium for a non-conference matchup to close the regular season. Game time is set for 1:00 p.m.
