CONWAY — If ever a team deserved a better fate, it would be the Kennett High field hockey team. The Eagles dominated much of their Division II semifinal game against Hanover at Eustis Field at Bill Ball Stadium on the campus of Exeter High School on Wednesday night, but it will be the Marauders playing one more game while Kennett’s season came to an abrupt end.
Hanover scored the lone goal for the 1-0 win on the windy, chilly night, on essentially its only real shot, 12 minutes into the second half and then held off a frantic bid for an equalizer by the girls from Conway. It was the only time this season Kennett trailed in a game and just the fourth goal it allowed in 16 games.
