The Keuka College field hockey team scored its first goal of the season Saturday, but the Wolves fell 4-1 on the road at Lycoming College in non-conference play.
Senior Anna Dewey (Sidney, N.Y. / Sidney) tallied Keuka’s lone goal in the final minute, her 12th career score. Junior goalkeeper Khadeeja Reed (Webster, N.Y. / Webster Schroeder) finished with six saves for the Wolves.
Lycoming (2-1) seized control early, striking twice in less than a minute midway through the first quarter before adding a third goal to take a 3-0 lead after the opening frame. The Warriors extended the advantage to 4-0 before halftime.
Keuka generated pressure late, breaking through in the closing minute. Off a penalty corner from Cassidy Scheftic (East Syracuse, N.Y. / East Syracuse-Minoa), the ball found Tori Nelson (Vernon Center, N.Y. / Vernon-Verona-Sherrill), who set up Dewey for the finish.
