RICHMOND, Va. – The University of Richmond field hockey team secured an Atlantic 10 Conference tournament berth with a 2-1 victory over Davidson, on Senior Day Sunday at Crenshaw Field.

After a tough back and forth defensive battle in the first half, Richmond broke through in the third quarter. At the 34:20 mark in the contest, Olivia Frazier (Cary, N.C.) inserted the ball for the corner play, connecting with Steffie Bongers (Weert, The Netherlands), who fired the ball past the Davidson goalkeeper.

Within three minutes, it was the exact same play for the Spiders second goal. Frazier again inserted the ball for the corner play, connecting with Bongers for the score.

Davidson would tally a goal at the 56:47 mark, as a Wildcat put in the rebound off a shot that hit the crossbar.

Richmond held the advantage in shots and shots on goal, 14(8) – 4(3) and in penalty corners (5-2). Spider goalkeeper Erika Latta (Midlothian, Va.) registered one save in 45 minutes of action, while Frankie-Lynne Conklin (Greenvale, N.Y.) allowed one goal. Defender Tess Keppel (Baltimore, Md.) tallied a defensive save in the game.

Prior to the start of the game, Richmond honored their five seniors: Abra Granger (Winston-Salem, N.C.), Cadera Smith (Doylestown, Pa.), Kelsey Hengerer (Galway, Ireland), Kayla Somers (Berlin, N.J.) and Conklin.
