GRANVILLE, Ohio. (October 2, 2021) – The Denison University field hockey team lost 3-0 against No. 19 the University of Lynchburg in what was the Big Red's final nonconference game of the 2021 regular season.

Maya Tumiwa had the first shot of the game for either team go off the post in the 11th minute, and then Kristin Kelly had the first shot attempt of the second quarter, which resulted in a save in the 19th minute.
