Last Wednesday, the LU field hockey team played at No. 2 North Carolina and came away humbled, losing 9-0.
That loss dropped them to 6-11 on the year ahead of the team’s final two games of the regular season.
Expectations may not have been high coming into the match against the Tar Heels, but the final line on the scoreboard told the big story vividly, as UNC scored six goals in the second half alone.
The Heels also dominated in shots 32-5, and led in shots on goal 24-3 as well. Kaye Goulding played all 70 minutes, making 11 saves.
The Lancers have two road games this weekend to determine final standings in the NorPac conference – Appalachian State (2-15, 1-6 NorPac) on Friday at 6:30 p.m. and Davidson (6-11, 2-5 NorPac) at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
The Lancers are 4-2 in the conference and will likely play Radford (5-13, 3-4 NorPac) in the first round of the conference tournament in Lynchburg at Liberty University on Nov. 7.
The Lancers swept the Highlanders this year, once in a 3-2 comeback victory in Radford on Sept. 7 and once on Oct. 20 in Farmville, 5-0.
