Box Score
GETTYSBURG, Pa. –
Lauren Eby
(Denver, PA/Garden Spot) tallied her first collegiate
goal in the second half to extend Gettysburg’s lead
to 2-0 and lift the No. 16 Bullets (3-1) to a win over visiting
Catholic in non-conference field hockey action on Tuesday.
Freshman Katherine
Corkhill (Paoli,
PA/Academy
of Notre Dame)
notched two saves to pick up her third win – and second
shutout – of the season. Erin
Swift made seven saves between the pipes for the
Cardinals (3-3), who failed to score on Gettysburg for the first
time since 1999, the initial meeting between the two squads.
Playing as a ranked team
for the first time since a 3-1 win over Swarthmore on Sept.
29, 2001, the Bullets wasted no time getting on the scoreboard.
On the first penalty corner
of the game, Bridget Seidel (Mohnton,
PA/Governor Mifflin)
redirected a Kelley Mishler (Moorestown,
NJ/Moorestown)
pass with 3:04 gone to give Gettysburg
a 1-0 advantage.
Maura
Downey (Lancaster, PA/Lancaster Catholic) had a
chance to make it 2-0 seven minutes later when she broke
down the field with Meg Goddu (Chadds Ford, PA/Unionville),
but the two failed to connect on a long pass in from the
right side.
Eby
did make it 2-0 at the 56:09 mark when she converted a pass from Becky Latta (West Chester, PA/Henderson)
at the top of the arc. With the tally, the Bullets converted
their fourth goal of the season off a penalty corner to
set the final margin.
Catholic’s best opportunity
of the game came in the 59th minute when Jaime
Punyko sent a shot in
from the right side behind Corkhill,
but Hannah O’Donoghue
(Cape May, NJ/Lower Cape May Regional) was there
for the defensive save to preserve the shutout.
Michele
Repass led the Cardinals with three shots while Jayme Dinsmore
added two.
The shutout marks the first
time Gettysburg has blanked two of its first four
opponents since 1996. In that season, the Bullets held Juniata
(4-0) and Rochester (2-0) without
a goal.
Gettysburg returns to action at No. 19 Juniata on Saturday.
Game time is 1 p.m.
