The field hockey is unbeaten at home when Davidson’s match is 4-0

FARMVILLE, Va. Longwood’s field field home advantage is alive and well at Elizabeth Burger Jackson Field.

The Lancers (7-4, 2-2 MAC) remained unbeaten on their blue lawn at the Longwood Athletics Complex and scored two goals from their parents Sophia Loscher and routed visiting Davidson (2-10) 4-0 on Sunday afternoon to recover 4-0 to Farmville.

The win was a recovery attempt after this Friday’s late game 3-2 loss to 24th place in Kent, where MAC power plant Golden Flashes made the last two three-minute rules to ruin Lancers ’shocked bid. Longwood had no such difficulty protecting his net against Davidson on Sunday as a goalkeeper Madison Nuckols made four fights and the Lancers limited the Wildcats to just four shots in the game.

“We definitely like to play on our home field,” said the sophomore Zoe Tierney, who played 32 minutes off the bench. – And usually we get a little upset playing another game over the weekend, but I think being home was a good thing for us.

“We changed the lineup a bit, and it works really well for us. Isis [Vrolijks] is in the middle of what’s new, and the forward line works really well together. We have been working on virtually continuous indoor and outdoor runs and antennas; it worked really well for us in this game. “

This work paid off all the time as Longwood increased the 2-0 difference at half time and scored with two extra goals in the final quarter. Loscher spotted the first goal of the match with the first goal 15 seconds before the end of the first quarter and the second in the 52nd minute. In between, comrade Luna Lopez and the second year Kylie Levine also contributed to Longwood’s fourth match with at least four goals this season.

Loscher’s two-goal match extends a fiery tube in Heidelberg, Germany, which has accumulated nine points in the last four games and is in the lead at four points. During this stretch, he also made three assists in his October 1 win against Central Michigan and the game’s 3-1 victory over Saint Francische 25. September.

Longwood dominated all-Sunday victory over Davidson, surpassing the Wildcats 21-8 and putting 13 of those shots to the finish. Wildcat goalkeeper Cato Roell blocked eight times but was unable to slow down Lancers ’penalty angle setting as Longwood scored four of their four goals at the finish line.

The Lancers will resume their four-game home game next Friday, Oct. 15, to return to the Central American Conference game when league rival Appalachian State arrives in Farmville at 5 p.m.
