Mt. Olive, N.C. - The Wolves Field Hockey Team came into this match after playing in a seven-goal shootout in their previous game against Coker on Sunday afternoon. Wednesday evening shaped out to be the complete inverse as the both teams were held goalless for the the first 60 minutes of regulation time, the first ten minutes of the first overtime, and over half of the second overtime period before Mount Olive's Morgan Paterson put home the golden goal as they sent the Wolves to their third consecutive one goal loss. 

For a team that is used to playing on the front foot offensively for most of the game, the Scarlet and Gray found themselves in a position they haven't found themselves in all season as the Trojans led in most every offensive stat during regulation. However, Grace Lee bounced back from a tough day on Sunday and saved 14 shots with three of those being in the sudden death overtime periods. Erin Robbins recorded her fifth defensive save of the season in the first quarter, giving her the conference lead in that statistic. 

While the Trojans had the upper hand offensively during regulation, the Wolves got back on the front foot once sudden death overtime started. The Wolves put up five shots in the first overtime, with four of those forcing a save from Mount Olive's Keeper, Victoria Lane, and the fifth forcing a defensive save from the Trojans. With this momentum gained in the first ten minutes of the overtime session it seemed that the Wolves were primed to get the winner. However, the Trojans had other plans as they got back on the front foot offensively as they put up six shots in the second overtime to Newberry's one. That sixth shot was the decisive one, as just under seven minutes into the second overtime, Paterson beat Lee with a backhanded shot to the left side and the Trojans came away from the battle victorious. 

The Scarlet and Gray return home and have a full week off before facing the Queens University Royals at Setzler Field on Wednesday, September 29th with a 6:30 PM start time. This match marks the start of a three-match homestand which sees the Wolves face conference opponents Queens, Converse, and Belmont Abbey.
