NEWBERRY, S.C. - Three different Cobras tallied goals to propel the Coker College field hockey team past the Newberry College Wolves 4-1 Sunday (Oct. 21) afternoon in South Atlantic Conference Carolinas action. Carla Deuble, Kelly Mason, and Amelia Gajewski (2) all recorded scores during the contest.

Deuble was tasked with the penalty stroke and buried her shot into the left corner of the cage in the fifth minute. Coker continued to control the pace of the game and headed into halftime with a 1-0 lead.

Similar to the beginning of the first half, the Navy and Gold jumped on the Wolves early in the second half with a score from Mason in the 38th minute. The Cobras went on to score their third consecutive goal in the 57th minute, thanks to an accurate feed from Mason to Gajewski.

Gajewski recorded her second goal of the contest in the final seconds and Deuble was credited with the assist.

Gajewski led the Cobras offensively with two goals off of six shots and is currently second in the conference in goals with eight. Victoria Watts and Deuble fired off two shots each, while Alyssa Baronella-O'Toole and Mason tallied one shot. In goal, Kelsey Gibbons collected two saves. As a team, Coker outshot Newberry 12-7 and earned six penalty corners.
