Box Score Newport News, Va. - Rhodes College field hockey went scoreless for 52 minutes before securing their lone goal in a 3-1 loss to the University of Mary Washington Sunday on the campus of Christopher Newport University.

Rhodes was able to escape the shutout when Hailey Mules scored her second goal of the weekend. The Lynx earned a corner and after Ashley Neiswender served in the ball, Mules took a shot and gathered the rebound from UWW's save before scoring near the left post as the 53rd minute began.
