DAVIDSON, N.C. — The Bellarmine University field hockey team fell 2-0 to Davidson on Sunday afternoon despite a strong defensive effort from the Knights.
Bellarmine's defense held strong throughout the contest, with goalkeeper Megan Clauser making 10 saves to keep the Knights within striking distance. Davidson scored once in the first quarter and added another goal early in the fourth to account for the final margin.
The Knights, however, struggled to generate offense against the Wildcats, recording just five shots and three penalty corners. Dominique Hudson and Amy Stripling each registered two shots, with Hudson putting both of hers on goal.
Bellarmine returns home Friday for its home opener against conference foe Longwood. The Knights and Lancers are set for a 3 p.m. matchup at Trager Stadium.
