Golden Wolves Fall to Pride, Claim Five Seed in Playoff

Reading, Pa. (October 31, 2026) — Alvernia field hockey (8-9, 4-4 MAC) dropped a MAC Commonwealth clash to the Widener Pride (8-8, 4-4 MAC) at home to decide who would host the No. 4/No. 5 play-in game between the Golden Wolves and Pride.

Alvernia struck first in the second quarter when Ava Michael and Kelsey McClintock connected off a corner opportunity to take a 1-0 lead. The Pride scored two unanswered goals and ultimately the game-winner within a minute of the game-tying goal.

How It Happened:

  • After a scoreless first quarter, the Golden Wolves opened up the scoring three minutes into the second quarter when Ava Michael assisted Kelsey McClintock, who buried the ball into the back of the net to put Alvernia up 1-0.

  • The Pride answered back with two goals in the final four minutes of the first half.

  • The Golden Wolves had one final opportunity to tie the game with a corner attempt with just 13 seconds left, but the shot attempt by Ava Michael did not find the back of the net, which gave the Pride the win.

Inside the Box Score:

  • The Golden Wolves outshot the Pride 8-6 in the contest and forced six corners to Widener's three.

  • Kelsey McClintock scored the lone goal for the Golden Wolves off the assist from Ava Michael.

Up Next:

The Golden Wolves will travel to Chester, Pa., as the No. 5 seed for the play-in game on Monday night against the Pride at 6:00 PM.
