Late Goals Lift Crusaders to 2-1 Win

BELMONT, N.C. -- Freshmen Casey Etter and Gianna Conti scored eight minutes apart in the fourth quarter, lifting Belmont Abbey to a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Newberry in South Atlantic Conference Carolinas Field Hockey League against Saturday afternoon. Etter's goal with just 43 seconds remaining proved to be the difference.

The Crusaders improve to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in league play, while the Wolves fall to 3-2, 0-1.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Etter poked in a loose ball from the middle of the cage for the game-winner. Andi Weinberg has tipped the ball forward from the right side, setting up the shot.
  • Conti tallied her sixth goal of the season with 8:05 left in the contest to even the game at 1. She was open at the far post after Isabello Grasso dribbled through traffic for a cross from the left side.
  • Both goals started with a penalty corner.
  • Newberry opened the scoring 4:39 into the second quarter, then held the lead for over 42 minutes.
  • The Wolves outshot the Crusaders 16-7, but the shots-on-goal margin was just 7-4.
  • The Abbey took one more penalty corner than Newberry.
  • Freshman Chloe Parker made six saves for the Crusaders to improve to 4-1 on the season.
UP NEXT
  • Belmont Abbey continues South Atlantic Conference Carolinas play on Wednesday.
  • The Crusaders welcome cross-town rival Queens to Alumni Field for a 6 p.m. start.
