HARRISONBURG, VA - The Southern Virginia University field hockey team dropped a road contest to Eastern Mennonite University Wednesday night.

In the fourth overall matchup, and second this season between the programs, the Royals were able to come away with a 7-0 victory.

In the opening minute, Eastern Mennonite was able to find a goal and put the Knights on the defensive for most of the game.

Southern Virginia dug in defensively after the goal by not allowing another goal in the first period.

The Knights's defense led by Paola Nunez was able to tally seven saves in the first half, but could not keep up with the relentless offense from the Royals

The Knights now have a short turnaround  as they return home for a showdown against Lancaster Bible College on September, 23rd at Knight Stadium
