Box Score
GRANTHAM, Pa. – Jenna
Schwind tallied two unassisted
goals to lead No. 2 Messiah to a 5-0 win over 17th-ranked
Gettysburg in non-conference field hockey action on Thursday.
Freshmen goalkeepers Katherine
Corkhill (Paoli,
PA/Academy of Notre) and Allie Duggan (Rockville,
MD/Colonel
Zadok Magrauder)
split time between the pipes for the Bullets (10-6), who
dropped their third straight contest. Corkhill got the start and played the first half, allowing
three goals while making 10 saves while facing 15 shots.
Duggan saw action in the second half, stopping seven shots
and allowing the other two scores, facing 18 shots.
Erica
Nelson stopped both shots she saw for the Falcons
(16-1), posting her seventh individual shutout of the season.
In the 16th
minute, Lindsey Hunter finally converted on Messiah’s 10th
shot of the game for a 1-0 lead. Danae Chambers
played a ball right to the waiting stick of Hunter, who
slid the ball behind Corkhill
to give the Falcons all they would need for the victory.
Eight and a half minutes
later, Chambers – the Division III career scoring leader
– scored a goal of her own on a drive in from the left
side.
Schwind
got the first of her two markers five minutes before halftime,
rocketing a shot from just inside
the circle for the 3-0 halftime advantage.
Maura
Downey (Lancaster, PA/Lancaster Catholic) tallied Gettysburg’s only first-half shot, sending
a ball in from the right side in the stanza’s final
minute.
Schwind
made it 4-0 in the 62nd minute, rebounding
an Aftan Fisher shot and save.
On Messiah’s 12th
and final penalty corner, Heather Kresge
collected the initial pass from Fisher and sent a long shot
in from the top of the arc to set the final margin.
The shutout marks the first
time this season that the Bullets have been held off the
scoreboard, but was the seventh time in the last nine trips
to Messiah that Gettysburg
has failed to score.

on Saturday. Game time is 1 p.m.
