Valkyries Knock Off Hawks for First Win

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – On a hot and muggy South Carolina day, the Converse women's soccer team defeated Chowan University 2-1 in their Conference Carolinas opener on Saturday afternoon at McCracken Field.

The two teams jockeyed for position throughout the remainder of the half until the 29th minute of the contest. Sabrina Henderson scored on a through pass by Brielle Dumont. For Henderson it was her second goal of the season for the Hawks.
