HARTSVILLE, S.C. - Coker University field hockey stunned Limestone in an overtime thriller on Senior Day on Tuesday (Mar. 23) by a score of 1-0.

The teams played a scoreless first half, with Coker edging Limestone 2-0 in shots through 30 minutes. The teams were tied 6-6 in shots after three quarters, before Limestone out-shot Coker 6-1 in the fourth. The teams went to overtime scoreless.

The Cobras dominated the overtime period, out-shooting Limestone 6-1 and earning seven penalty corners to Limestone's one. The final penalty corner of the game was the one that counted, as Britt Kabo fired a slapper off a stick in front that deflected up into the air and eventually over the shoulder of Limestone netminder Tereza Koprivova into the back of the cage with 12 seconds to go in the overtime period.

Both teasm finished with 13 shots, while Coker out-worked Limestone for penalty corners 12-4. Kabo led the Cobras with five shots, while Kelsey Sithole also registered three shots.
