Centre drops 1-0 SCAC match to Rhodes in field hockey
After being forced to move the match from Memphis, Tenn. to Conway, Ark. due to field conditions, the Centre College field hockey team dropped a tough 1-0 decision to Rhodes College, Friday, Sept. 25.
The loss is the first of the season for the Colonels, who fall to 4-1 overall and 2-1 in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference. Rhodes improves to 4-1 and 2-0 in league play.
After a scoreless first half, Rhodes' Libby Feaster scored off an assist from Lindsey Gurkovich with only 12 minutes left in regulation to give the Lynx the conference victory.
Centre out-shot Rhodes 5-4, while the Lynx held a 6-3 edge in penalty corners. Sophomore Patty Cowley (Louisville, Ky.) was the tough-luck loser in goal for the Colonels.
Centre will return to action Sunday, Sept. 25 with another SCAC match, this time against Hendrix College. The match is set to start at 1 p.m. in Conway, Ark.
