LOUISVILLE, Ky.--Bellarmine's Cassi Dalyrymple scored 3:40 into the "sudden victory" period to propel the Knights field hockey team to a 4-3 victory over Denison University today in a rain-soaked Frazier Stadium. 

Denison's Kelsey Flowers got an unassisted shot past Bellarmine goalkeeper Katie Lange with just 1:16 remaining in regulation to force the overtime period.  

The game was close throughout and was scoreless until the Big Red's Molly McCue recovered a ball that Bellarmine's Lange had just saved and put in the cage with just 2:17 left in the first half.  

After halftime, both the precipitation and the scoring picked up rather quickly.  Bellarmine's Natalie Perry tied the game with goal off a nice pass from teammate Ceit Love in the game's 43rd minute as a heavy downpour fell on Janet A. and Joseph P. Clayton Field.  Less than a minute later, Emily West gave the Knights their first lead of the game when she scored on a Lauren Schmeing assist.

The Big Red tied it three and half minutes later when Meg Cronin lifted a shot over Lange for the goal.  Ellen West scored Bellarmine's final goal in regulation with 5:01 remaining.

Bellarmine improved to 5-4 on the season while Denison dropped to 5-4.

The Knights are back in action on Wednesday, Sept. 23, when they travel to Greencastle, Ind., for a game against DePauw.
