Box Score
FREDERICKSBURG,
Va. – After a scoreless first half, senior Katie Lowe (Setauket, NY/Ward
Melville) cracked the scoreboard in the 43rd
minute, leading No. 17 Gettysburg to a 3-2 win at 16th-ranked
Mary Washington in non-conference field hockey action on
Saturday.
Katherine
Corkhill (Paoli, PA/Academy of Notre) made eight saves
to help the Bullets (11-6) snap a three-game skid and finish
the regular season on a winning note.
At the other end of the
field, Robyn Lankford made seven saves for the Eagles (13-5) while
Brynn Maguire had both UMW goals.
After Lowe tallied unassisted
at 42:59, Maguire took a short pass from Meghan
Punaro off a rebound to
knot the game at 1 at the 61:30 mark.
Two minutes later, Kelley
Mishler (Moorestown, NJ/Moorestown) started a flurry that saw three goals
in three minutes to set the final margin.
In the 64th
minute, Lowe played a ball off Lankford and across to the
left side, where Mishler collected it and slid it into a
wide open left side of the cage to give Gettysburg the lead for good.
A minute later, Bridget
Seidel (Mohnton, PA/Governor Mifflin) tapped up
a long hit in from Becky Latta (West Chester, PA/Henderson),
redirecting it over Lankford and into the upper-right corner
of the cage for a 3-1 advantage. Seidel’s eventual
game-winner, her team-leading fourth of the season, marked
the first time in the 12-game series that the Bullets have
scored three times on the Eagles.
At the 65:17 mark,
Maguire tallied her second goal of the day, collecting a
ball from Laura Fassaro and putting it by Corkhill to pull within 3-2.
Mary Washington had one
final chance to tie the game when the squad was awarded
back-to-back penalty corners in the game’s final 30
seconds, but could not convert.
The
Bullets return to action in the Centennial Conference first
round at home against Washington on Wednesday.
Game time is 2 p.m.
