Box Score
GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Gettysburg sophomore Meg Goddu (Chadds Ford, PA/Unionville) netted a career-high two goals, both in the
second half, to help the Bullets overcome a 1-0 first half
deficit and defeat visiting Elizabethtown 2-1 in non-conference field hockey action on Wednesday.
Goddu’s pair of goals equals her offensive
output from her rookie campaign of 2002.
Senior Jessy
O’Neill (Lower
Gwynedd, PA/Gwynedd Mercy Academy) recorded seven saves in goal
for the Bullets (1-1).
On the other side, Lisa Marquette had
two saves for the Blue Jays (1-4).
Trailing 1-0, Goddu took
a pass senior Jocie
Eberle (South Portland, ME/South Portland) in the 46th minute from the top of the
arc. Goddu’s shot bounced
off the keeper’s foot and found the back of the cage
to knot the game at 1-all.
Less than eight minutes later, Goddu
took a pass from senior Kate Hopkins (Oswego, NY/West Chester East [PA]) at the top of the circle. She dribbled in from there
and netted her second goal to give the Bullets the 2-1 advantage.
O’Neill made three huge saves down the stretch
to preserve the Gettysburg lead and help the Bullets
pick up their initial win of the 2003 campaign. The first
of those stops came with 12 minutes showing when Kate
Gwilliam had a breakaway
all alone down the left side looking for the equalizer.
She would be denied, though, when O’Neill made the
kick save.
Elizabethtown’s lone goal of the day
came with just under nine minutes showing in the first half
off a penalty corner. Kelly Miller made a
double move past O’Neill to score unassisted and give
the Blue Jays the 1-0 lead.
Gettysburg returns to action on Saturday
at No. 3 Rowan. Game time is 1 p.m.
