Wolves Offense Remains Hot in 5-3 Win Over Coker

Braces by Bangert and Ellis Lift Wolves Attack

Hartsville, S.C. - After a four goal output on Tuesday night against Belmont Abbey, the Newberry Field Hockey Team continued its torrent pace as two goals from Carly Ellis and Tamsin Bangert plus another from Payton Findlay lifted the Wolves to a 5-3 win over the Coker Cobras. With their season best fourth straight win, the Wolves moved to 7-4 on the year and 4-3 in SACC play. 

The Wolves started fast as they tallied the first four shots of the match and forced two saves by Coker goalie Kelsey Gibbons. On that fourth shot, Yasmin De Meyer found Carly Ellis, fresh off a hat trick in her last match, on a penalty corner for her fourth goal of the season and the Scarlet and Gray found themselves with an early lead just over five minutes in. Coker would respond quickly as Britt Kabo would put one past Grace Lee to tie the score at one. Newberry would respond back before the end of the first quarter as Yasmin De Meyer would record another assist, this one to Tamsin Bangert who slotted home her first goal since the opening weekend in Pennsylvania and the Wolves took a 2-1 lead to the second quarter. Coker would respond with the only goal of the second quarter. With just over five minutes to go until halftime, Rylie Cordrey would find the back of the net and we were even after 30 minutes of action.

After halftime, the Wolves would start to take control as Yasmin De Meyer would complete the assist hat-trick as she set up Carly Ellis for her second goal of the game and Newberry found themselves back up 3-2. With just over two minutes to go in the third, the Wolves were given a perfect opportunity to expand their lead as they were awarded a penalty stroke which Payton Findlay slotted home for her first goal of the season and doubled the Wolves lead to 4-2. Newberry would deliver their final blow seven minutes into the last quarter as Caitlin Wassermann found Tamsin Bangert who put it home for her second goal of the game and all but sealed the game for the Scarlet and Gray. Coker would find a goal with just over two minutes left but it was too little, too late as the Wolves would claim their fourth consecutive win and avenge their loss to Coker from earlier in the year in a similarly offensive battle.

When asked about her team's performance, head coach Hannah Dave said, "We had a great attacking game today and it showed within the points we had. Defensively it wasn't our strongest game but our attack took care of what we needed to get done and focused on what we prepared for in practice."

The Wolves will return to action this Saturday as they travel to Spartanburg, S.C. to take on the Converse Valkyries.
