The next contest in the Top 10 Exciting Games from the past year is our No. 2 highlight – the field hockey team defeating The University of Scranton, 1-0, on a late goal in the Landmark Conference Semifinals.
The Greyhounds were making their second straight appearance in the Landmark Conference Tournament in the match played on November 2 in Scranton.
Neither team was able to find the net in the opening half of the match with the Royals holding a 9-2 advantage in shots through the first 30 minutes of action. The scoreless action continued in the third quarter with Scranton out-shooting Moravian, 5-4, in the period. The Hounds eventually scored the only goal of the evening with just 1:49 remaining as senior midfielder Maddie Call put a long shot from the right side into the cage.
Senior goalie Brooke Wilkinson registered seven saves in the contest as she recorded her sixth shutout of the season and 11th of her career with the victory.
The Blue & Grey would go on to play at The Catholic University of America in the championship match a few days later, the Greyhounds' first-ever appearance in a conference title contest.
