Isca looking to bounce back at league leaders
SECOND-PLACED Isca University face a Conference West top-of-the-table clash in the Investec Women's Hockey League on Saturday when they host runaway leaders Buckingham at the University of Exeter Sports Park (12.30pm).
At the halfway stage of the season Buckingham – last season's Conference champions – have won all nine of their opening matches and are eight points clear of Isca, who have drawn once and lost twice.
The first of those defeats was 2-0 at Buckingham on September 22. The second was at home to Swansea Spartans on Sunday, when the visitors won 3-1.
Natalie Blyth, Katrin Budd and Alexandra Naughalty scored for Spartans, who led 2-0 before Carla Dunnett replied for the hosts in the 15th minute.
