Box Score
GETTYSBURG, Pa. –
Alyssa Stine
converted Lebanon Valley's seventh penalty corner in
the 31st minute to lift the 20th-ranked
Dutchwomen to a 2-1 upset win over No. 15 Gettysburg in
non-conference field hockey action on Tuesday at Shirk Field
at Musselman Stadium.
Steph Marguglio
tallied Lebanon
Valley’s other goal and Katie Pawlewicz
made four saves to give the Dutchwomen (3-2) their fifth
straight victory over the Bullets.
Meg
Goddu (Chadds Ford, PA/Unionville)
scored the lone goal for Gettysburg
(3-2), taking four of the Bullets’ seven shots. Katherine Corkhill (Paoli,
PA/Academy
of Notre Dame)
made one save in the first half between the pipes before
Allie Duggan (Rockville,
MD/Colonel Zadok
Magruder) – in her first action of the season
– made two stops in relief.
Taking the fourth of LVC’s
15 penalty corners, Marguglio
redirected a Fairyn McCleary
pass from the right side to knot the game at 1-all in the
21st minute.
Ten minutes later, Stine
found the backboard with the game-winner, scoring from the
right side at the top of the arc unassisted.
Goddu opened scoring when
she broke in from the left side all alone, pushing the ball
behind the keeper and into the right corner of the cage
for a 1-0 lead.
Both teams had opportunities
to tally in the second half, but neither could find the
backboard. Gettysburg’s best opportunity to tie the
game came in the 42nd minute when Krissy Browning (Baldwin, MD/Fauston) fired a shot from the left side of the arc
– the Bullets’ only of the second half –
but it rolled wide to keep it a 2-1 Dutchwomen lead.
Marguglio
and Mimi Sullivan had opportunities for Lebanon Valley
in the second half but all three of their combined shots
went wide.
For the contest, the Dutchwomen
held a 15-3 advantage in penalty corners and finished with
an 11-7 advantage in shots.
Gettysburg returns to action in its Centennial Conference opener at Swarthmore on Saturday.
Game time is 1 p.m.
