HOCKEY WINS SHOWDOWN WITH DELAWARE VALLEY, 3-2
DOYLESTOWN --
Freshman Shawna
Walp's second-half goal proved to be the game winner as the King's
College field hockey team posted a big 3-2 victory over host Delaware
Valley College in a battle between two of the top teams in the Freedom
Conference Saturday in Doylestown.

Conference Tournament a year ago, improved to 9-1 overall and 1-0 in
conference play. Delaware Valley, meanwhile, slipped to 7-3 overall and
0-1 in the league.
After trailing 1-0
at 10:37 on an Aggie goal by Bethany Pavlik, King's would counter to
take a 2-1 halftime. Christina Glenn evened the game with an unassisted
goal at 16:04, before assisting on the Lady Monarchs second goal just
2:23 later by Debbie Wychock. The goal Wychock was 23rd of the season,
the most nationally in NCAA Division III.
Delaware Valley would tie the game at 2-2 when Holly Rich scored off an
assist from Michelle Cernobyl at 36:34.
King's would score
the game winner with 5:28 left in the contest when Walp would redirect a pass from Jenera
