Buena Vista, VA - The Southern Virginia University field hockey team concluded their 2023 season on home turf, but it was a challenging encounter as they fell to Meredith College in a hard-fought battle on Saturday afternoon.

In the sixth face-off between these two schools, the Knights had held a 3-2 advantage against the Angels in previous meetings, but this time, Meredith College seized control of the game right from the opening whistle. They wasted no time, finding the back of the net in the third minute and maintaining their dominance throughout the match.
