Sabur's Late Goal Lifts Coker to Tuesday Night Win at Wingate

WINGATE, N.C. - A late goal from Kaiya Sabur sparked Coker University field hockey to a Tuesday night (Oct. 25) 1-0 South Atlantic Conference win, taking the season series over the Bulldogs. 

The teams played three scoreless quarters, with Coker out-shooting Wingate 7-5 at that point. 

The Cobras played a ball out of their own end late in the fourth quarter, creating a chance on the other end with about two and a half minutes left. Sabur ended up with the ball on her stick inside the scoring area, firing a shot through a crowd that found the back of the cage to put the Cobras ahead for good. 

Coker out-shot Wingate 14-6 in the contest, led by six shots by Sabur. Cato Bartstra registered three shots in the contest, while Delaney Mitchell and Britt Kabo each had two shots and Kelsey Sithole also had one. Coker also out-worked Wingate 9-7 on penalty corners. Mar Hondeman (1-0) picked up her first career win between the pipes, while Emma Reininga also made two saves between the pipes. 

The Cobras return home on Saturday (Oct. 29) to host Belmont Abbey in South Atlantic Conference action. The game begins at 12:00 p.m. from the Coker Athletic Field, with video and live stats available at www.cokercobras.com.
