Valkyries Escape From Hartsville With a Win

HARTSVILLE, S.C.– The Converse University field hockey team defeated Coker University 4-3 on Tuesday afternoon at the Coker Athletic Fields.
 
With the win the Valkyries improve to 5-3 overall and 3-2 in South Atlantic Conference action, meanwhile the Cobras fall to 1-7 overall and 1-7 SAC play. The win also secures the Valkyries fourth straight win over the Cobras.
 
The Valkyries offense picked up right where they left off on Friday afternoon against Belmont Abbey. This time, however, Remington Lewis found the back of the net in the first seven minutes of the game to give Converse a 1-0 advantage. Moments later, Catalina Pistaccio found Samantha Daly for the Valkyries second goal of the afternoon.
 
In the second quarter the Valkyries continued to shot on the Cobras goal, but it was Coker who was able to find the back of the net on their lone shot attempt of the period. Going into the halftime break the Valkyries held a 2-1 lead over the Cobras.
 
Coming out of the halftime intermission, Coker scored a pair of goal less than five minutes into the third quarter. The quick barrage of goals by the Cobras offense gave them their first lead of the match at 3-2. The lead was short lived, as Kilee Bradeen found Keira van Zyl for the game tying goal.
 
The game went into the final quarter of action knotted at three goals each. With just nine minutes to play in regulation, Leonoor de Vreugd found Brooklyn Widdess for the game-winning goal and the Valkyries held on for the victory.
 
Converse outshot Coker 17-9 overall and 8-5 in shots on goal. The Cobras recorded four team saves, while the Valkyries managed just a pair of saves in the match. Converse once again recorded more penalty corners than their opponent, as they finished the game with a 6-5 margin over Coker.
