DOBBS FERRY, N.Y. -- Sophomore Paige Hinds made four saves, but Mercy was able to tally the only goal of the contest late in the second half, sending Belmont Abbey to a 1-0 setback Thursday afternoon in ECAC Division II Field Hockey League action. 

The teams played scoreless until the 59th minute when Mercy's Kayly Bryant broke the drought off a penalty corner. The Crusaders (7-8, 2-6) continued the attack, but were never able to solve Maverick goalie Cheradyn Pettit.
