Box Score

GETTYSBURG, Pa. – It didn't take long for the Gettysburg College field hockey team to rev up the offensive engine and the motor kept running as the Bullets posted its highest margin of victory in almost five decades against visiting Bryn Mawr College, downing the Owls 11-0 at Shirk Field at Musselman Stadium.

Gettysburg (8-4, 3-2 CC), ranked 15th in the latest national poll, posted its highest goal total since a 13-0 drubbing of Dickinson College on Oct. 19, 1960. It only took 47 seconds to start the show on Saturday as junior Vanessa Pabon (New Oxford, Pa./New Oxford) corralled a loose ball in the circle and slapped in her third goal of the season. Senior Emily Harwood (Rockville, Md./Magruder) followed with a pair of unassisted scores, dribbling through the defense and around the keeper at 5:05 and knocking home a rebound at 12:32. Harwood added an assist just 36 seconds later, finding junior Lexie Hearn (Old Greenwich, Conn./Greenwich) in front of the box for her ninth goal of the fall.

The Bullets spotted four more goals on the scoreboard by the end of the first half, including the last two off the stick of senior Jenn Amols (Fredericksburg, Va./James Monroe) to take an 8-0 lead into the break.

Gettysburg's reserves took over the second half and made their presence felt with three more scores. Sophomore Annie Marosits (Mountain Lakes, N.J./Mountain Lakes) had a hand in all three scores, picking up assists on freshman Sarah Cole's (Baltimore, Md./Bryn Mawr) first two collegiate goals and closing the offense with her fourth goal of the season at 53:50.

For the game, Gettysburg blanked Bryn Mawr in both shots and penalty corners, while posting 30 and 13 of their own, respectively. All three Bullets goalies saw time on the field with starter Christina Anderson (Dunkirk, Md./The Calverton School) earning the decision.

Gettysburg returns to action on Tuesday, Oct. 14, with a road trip to fifth-ranked Messiah College. Game time is set for 7 p.m.
