No. 7 Converse Dances With Wolves But Escapes the Graveyard With a Win

NEWBERRY, S.C. – The Converse University field hockey team defeated Newberry 2-1 in battle of South Atlantic Conference heavyweights on Tuesday night at Setzler field.

For the first time in program history, Converse (7-0, 4-0 SAC) walked into Setzler field and came away victorious over the Wolves. Prior to tonight's match the Valkyries were 0-6 in games played at Newberry (5-3, 2-1 SAC). Sophomore forward Lotte Kanters continued to make history on Tuesday night as she broke the single season school record for points (33) and goals (15) in a season.

In the opening period of action, the Valkyries and the Wolves battled from the start of the game. Each possession was hard to come by for either team, but slowly the Valkyries began to breakdown the
Wolves defense in the first quarter. With two minutes remaining in the period Catalina Pistaccio found Kanters for the opening goal of the match.

In the second period the two squads were once again in a stalemate with the Valkyries holding a slight edge on their offensive side of the pitch. Then with just 40 seconds to go in the half Newberry hit the equalizer.

Throughout the third quarter of action it appeared that it would be a scoreless period between the two teams. Neither side yielded an inch as they took turns possessing the ball on their offensive third. Then with 1:30 remaining in the period Caroline Blair found Pistaccio for the go-ahead goal.

In the fourth and final quarter the Valkyries defense buckled down and held strong against the Newberry attack. Converse held the Wolves to just one shot in the final period of action.

Game Leaders:
Goals: Lotte Kanters (1), Catalina Pistaccio (1)
Assists: Pistaccio (1), Caroline Blair (1)
