LANCASTER
Pa. – Meg Goddu (Chadds Ford, PA/Unionville) collected her fifth
game-winning goal of the season as Gettysburg topped Muhlenberg 3-0 in Centennial
Conference field hockey action on Tuesday. Maura
Downey (Lancaster, PA/Lancaster Catholic) sent in a cross that Goddu stole
off the goalies pads and scored 40 seconds into the game. The goal would prove
to be the game-winner for Gettysburg. Entering the game, Goddu was tied with Muhlenberg’s
LisaAnn Polt for the conference lead in game-winning goals.
Downey gave the Bullets an insurance goal in the first half
as a cross from Amy Morris (Baltimore, MD/Bryn Mawr School) trickled
through traffic in front of the cage. Downey was waiting on the back side of the
goal and drove a shot into the left side of the net.
Bridget
Seidel (Mohnton, PA/Governor Mifflin) had Gettysburg’s lone goal of the
second half. Seidel’s initial shot was blocked, then Amy Schneider (Allentown,
PA/Moravian Academy) had her put-back blocked before Seidel buried the
ricochet.
With her fourth shutout of the season, Katherine
Corkhill (Paoli, PA/Academy of Notre Dame) took a share of the conference
lead in total shutouts.
Muhlenberg goalie Lauren
Schram had 13 saves in the loss. Kate Moyer saved a goal
on a defensive save in the first half for the Mules.
The
Bullets held a 23-1 edge in shots and a 17-3 advantage in penalty corners.
With the win, Gettysburg remained unbeaten in the CC. No. 1
Ursinus is the only other unbeaten conference team.
