Box Score
GETTYSBURG, Pa. – With a Centennial Conference showdown with Franklin & Marshall College looming on the horizon, fifth-ranked Gettysburg College took care of business Wednesday night at Clark Field with a 16-8 victory over visiting Dickinson College. The Bullets remained perfect in six conference contests with the victory, while improving their overall mark to 11-1.
Juniors
Jessica Crane (Sudbury, Mass./Sudbury-Lincoln),

Lexie Hearn (Old Greenwich, Conn./Old Greenwich) also dished out three helpers and tossed in one goal.
Gettysburg and Dickinson (7-6, 3-3 CC) took a while to get the offenses revved up on a cold and windy night with the first goal by Woodman finally finding its way into the cage at 19:02. The teams split the next four goals before a 5-0 run by the Bullets blew the game open. Stahl accounted for two of the goals, while junior
Nina Emala (Baltimore, Md./Bryn Mawr) notched two assists and one goal.
Back-to-back scores by Amy Jennings and Abby Larson cut the deficit to four (8-4) with four minutes before the half, but that would be as close as the visitors would get the rest of the way. Crane gave Gettysburg a six-point cushion (10-4) with the final two scores of the first half.
