Maha Clarke and her Queens University of Charlotte Women’s Field Hockey teammates returned the favor to Newberry College, defeating the Wolves 6-0 at Dickson Field.
Newberry had defeated Queens 3-2 in double overtime early in month. Queens now sits at 6-5 on the year, while Newberry falls to 5-8.
Clarke got Queens going with a goal in the seventh minute. Clarke picked up a deflection and fired it into the back of the net to score what would be the game winner.
Mazvita Mtisi quickly followed with another in the ninth after she and Hanna Nechay broke away from the defense to go two on one with Newberry's goalkeeper. The final goal of the first half would come from Lauren Wolfgang in the 14th minute, and the 3-0 score stood until the halftime break.
In the second half, Wolfgang found the back of the net again when she collected a pass from Mtisi following a penalty corner and bounced the ball in the cage. Queens' final two goals of the game would come from the stick of Renee Smith. Her first came in the 53rd minute on an assist from Kayleigh Lawrence, while her second came in the 66th on an assist from Mtisi.
Queens outshot Newberry 18-11, putting 13 shots on goal this afternoon. Goalkeeper Miranda Childers grabbed her third shutout of the season after totaling six saves.
