Lancers Shutout LIU to Get Their First Win of the Season

Four Different Lancers Score as They Win in Impressive Fashion

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. – All it took was one day for the Lancers to bounce back with a win.
 
In their second game in as many days, the Longwood field hockey team recorded their first win of the season with an impressive 4-0 victory over Long Island University on Saturday afternoon at Hofstra Field Hockey Stadium in Hempstead, N.Y.
 
The four goals for the Lancers (1-1), which ties their season-best mark from a year ago, were scored by four different players as Longwood received offensive contributions from players all over the field. This would be more than enough offense for redshirt senior Katie Wyman, who turned away all nine shots she faced to hold LIU (0-1) at bay for the shutout.
 
"It was nice to bounceback with a win," said Longwood head coach Iain Byers. "As a neutral site game, it was a difficult game with some challenges to overcome, but we did as a team and we are proud of what we did. There were a lot of things that we could have done better, but there are some things we did really well, so we are happy about that and ready to move on to Georgetown on Friday."
 
A two-time All-MAC performer, the shutout was the 10th of Wyman's standout career. She was aided defensively by a strong performance from backline Lea Van Luvender, Rio Weber, and Clara Meschini.
 
Junior Charlotte Wilm opened the scoring in the first quarter when she converted a penalty stroke to give the Lancers a 1-0 lead. Sophomore Sophia Loscher dribbled in from the top of the circle before sending a strike past Long Island goalkeeper Rachel Vellis to make it 2-0 early in the second quarter, where the score would stay until the half.
 
Junior forward Karly Harwood redirected a pass from Clara Meschini to give the Lancers a 3-0 lead in the third before reigning MAC Freshman of the Year Luna Lopez closed the scoring with a penalty stroke goal to make it 4-0.
 
Long Island forward Sammy Bell registered 11 total shots in the game, with eight of them on frame. Goalkeeper Rachel Vellis recorded two saves for the Sharks.
 
Up next for the Lancers is their home-opener, when they take on Georgetown on Friday, Sept. 6 at 2 p.m.
