The Lancaster Bible College field hockey team opened its 2022 season with a 2-1 overtime loss at Neumann University in Aston, Pa. The Chargers are now 0-1, while the Knights are 1-0.
 
How It Happened: The Chargers were first to place a point on the scoreboard as junior Alyssa Hamilton scored at the 23:39 minute mark. The Chargers continued to hold the Knights scoreless through three quarters despite a barrage of 11 shots on goal, much to credit of Chargers goalie Amanda Hoover who finished with 11 saves on the game and fellow defender Alyssa Hamilton.
 
The Knights responded in the fourth quarter at the 54^th minute sending the game into overtime. The Knights would then follow their fourth quarter goal with a game finisher 1:11 into overtime.
 
From the Coach: "Great start to the season. Losing in OT is a win for this team at this point in the program. We had some moments of catching our breath, which put us on our heels, but our defense, especially Alyssa and Hoover, kept us in the game. We can take a lot of positives moving forward."
 
By the Numbers: The Knights outshot the Chargers 19-6 with 13 being on target… Lancaster Bible finished with 11 while Knights finished with 3… Neumann had 10 corners and Chargers had 4 corners.
 
Up Next: The Chargers will continue their road series on Saturday, Sept. 3^rd at 4 p.m. at Eastern Mennonite in Harrisonburg, Va.
