WINGATE, N.C. - The Coker University field hockey team upended Wingate for a 4-3 South Atlantic Conference win on Saturday (Sept. 10).
The Cobras struck first in the first six minutes when Britt Kabo scored from Kaiya Sabur to put the Cobras up 1-0. The Cobras would double their lead three minutes later when Chase Lennon scored from Skyler Earle as the Cobras took their 2-0 lead to the second quarter. Wingate would get on the board part way through the second quarter, before Kabo scored unassisted less than a minute later to put Coker back up by two.
