WINGATE N.C. – The Maryville field hockey team closed out the season with a flourish as the Saints reached a season high in goals with a 5-1 triumph over Coker. The game was played at a neutral site on the campus of Wingate University, where the Saints won both of their contests this week.

Denise Van der Spuy took a pass from
Ava Eiler and tucked the ball just inside the left post for a two-goal margin. Just over a minute later, the Saints drew a penalty stroke, and
Inke Nel converted high to the left side. Torres Moore put the game away in the 57th minute when she found the back of the net after a deft feed by
Cypress Guinn and a new season high with the fifth score of the day.
