Hobson hat trick propels Knights to 7-1 rout of Royals

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Bellarmine Knights field hockey team finished off its first road trip of the season in grand style, rolling to a 7-1 victory over Queens University behind a hat trick by senior Peyton Hobson.
 
The win came less than 48 hours after an exciting 3-2 double overtime victory at Longwood, giving the Knights a perfect 2-0 record on the road this season.
 
In today's game against the Royals, the outcome wasn't in doubt long as Bellarmine scored early and often in mounting leads of 4-1 and 6-1 after the first two periods.  Freshman Paige Hoyer got the scoring started when she converted a pass from Teresa Schmidt, who had corralled a pass from outside the from Anna Crump.  Less than two minutes later Hobson scored the first of her three goals on the season.
 
Although the Royals trimmed the deficit to 2-1 with about four and a half minutes remaining the first, the Knights had an almost immediate answer with Schmidt converting on a corner off a double assist from Alexa Rastigue and Alicia Hudson. Isabel Gladys ended the first quarter's scoring with 1:41 remaining when she dribbled into the right side of the circle and drilled a shot into the cage.
 
Hoyer and Hobson struck again in the second quarter, and Hobson ended the game's scoring with a third quarter goal.
 
Hobson's hat trick is the first since Merit Harris scored three goals in a 4-0 win over Molloy on Oct. 15, 2017, and the seven goals by the Knights is the most as a Division I program and the most since 2019 when they put up seven against Mount Olive and nine against Frostburg State.
 
As the score indicates, Bellarmine dominated the stat sheet, outshooting Queens 24-3, including an 11-1 advantage in shots on goal.  Although there were only nine penalty corners awarded in the game, the Knights doubled up the Royals with a 6-3 edge.
 
Bellarmine (4-5, 1-1 MAC) returns to action on Saturday when, once again, the Knights will be on the road to face Miami in a Mid-American Conference game.
