Look out for Red Land.
Those words were spoken by more than one field hockey coach in the Mid-Penn this season because there was the feeling that the Patriots might be on the rise.
And they sure enough showed that Wednesday by tying Hershey, 2-2.
That’s the same Hershey team fresh off a Monday win over Lower Dauphin. So, it was an impressive effort from Red Land locked in by Chelsea Carpenter’s tying goal off a penalty corner with no time remaining.
Aubrey Clark had the assist.
Hershey actually took a 1-0 lead via an Anne Gardner goal off an assist from Joyce Tao. Red Land answered via a Lauren Tobin goal off an assist from Ashton Kolmansberger.
Hershey reclaimed the lead in the fourth courtesy of a Lauren Schultz goal setting the stage for Carpenter’s key play.
Josie Ickes had seven saves for Red Land.
