Olentangy knocks off rival Liberty, 3-1

0

The Olentangy field hockey team shook off an early deficit and, once it got going, rolled to an impressive 3-1 win over a solid Olentangy Liberty squad Wednesday night in Lewis Center.

The Patriots struck first when Saurin Mehta found the back of the net with just under four minutes left in the first quarter.

From there, though, it was all Braves. Olentangy got the equalizer — just the second goal Liberty allowed all year — when Georgia Dudon scored off a corner with 7:51 left in the second.

The teams stayed stuck at 1 until shortly after halftime, when Sage Parker cleaned up a rebound to give Olentangy a 2-1 edge.

Alex Walters scored off a feed from Emma Hulshof to give the Braves a little insurance and smooth out the scoring summary.
