The Lancaster Bible College field hockey team lost its second straight game on Wednesday night, as the Chargers fell 2-1 to Notre Dame (Md.) in Colonial States Athletic Conference action. The Chargers are now 3-9 overall this season and 1-2 in CSAC play, while the Gators improved to 6-6 overall and 2-0 in conference action.

The Chargers earned two penalty corner tries, and two shots in the second quarter, though both shots were saved. The second quarter appeared to be ending as the first did with the game scoreless, but the Gators' Vanessa Dunn was awarded a penalty stroke with 18 seconds remaining, and converted the try for her 10^th goal of the season.
 
Notre Dame (Md.) carried its 1-0 lead through halftime, and well into the third quarter, but Lancaster Bible earned a penalty corner with just over four minutes remaining, and eventually turned the possession into a scoring chance, and senior Nina Statuti scored her fifth goal of the year with 3:43 left in the quarter off a pass from Macy Balmer, to tie the game at 1-1.
 
The Gators hammered the Chargers' end in the fourth quarter, and Lancaster Bible fought off five penalty corners and three shots, but with just over five minutes to play, Notre Dame (Md.) earned yet another penalty corner, and made the Chargers pay six seconds later, as Katie Hawkins scored off a feed from Dunn.
 
Lancaster Bible's Cassidy Snedeker had a shot for the Chargers a minute after Hawkins' goal, but it went wide, and Lancaster Bible wouldn't get another chance to tie the game.
