Ward Tallies Two Points for Field Hockey Against Alvernia

ANNVILLE, Pa. ­­– Junior forward Lexi Ward scored a goal and dished out an assist on Saturday, as the Lebanon Valley College field hockey team dropped a close 4-3 game to Alvernia University at Arnold Field. 

The Flying Dutchmen (6-4) delivered a strong effort against the Golden Wolves (4-5), battling all afternoon after trailing in the first half. The programs swapped goals in the first quarter, before Alvernia found the back of the cage twice in the second frame to take a two-goal lead into halftime. The Dutchmen were aggressive offensively in the second half, as the team took a total of 12 shots and managed to tie the game at 3-3 in the fourth quarter. The Golden Wolves then added a goal late, which proved to be the difference in the contest. 

Lebanon Valley opened the scoring early, taking a 1-0 lead over Alvernia 5:44 into the game. Ward got LVC on the board by sending a shot to the back of the cage, following an assist by senior midfielder Sorrell Long. Alvernia responded later in the first quarter, tying the game at 1-1 on a goal by Abbie Buck.

The Golden Wolves then took a 2-1 advantage 6:03 into the second quarter on a goal by Caroline Martin. Alvernia tacked on another point just 3:26 later, extending its lead to 3-1 on a goal by Olivia Hess. This was the score as the game went into halftime. 

Lebanon Valley chipped away at its deficit before the end of the third quarter, making it a 3-2 game with just 22 seconds remaining in the frame. Sophomore Rebecca Lane resumed the scoring for LVC with a shot that got past Alvernia's goalkeeper, courtesy of an assist by Ward. The Dutchmen then put another tally on the board with 3:54 left in the game, tying it at 3-3. Coming off a penalty corner, senior Emily Kline came through with a clutch goal to tie the contest, after an assist by sophomore Gracie Johnson.
