Box Score
GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Senior
Sarah Cole tied a career-high with five points on two goals and one assist while junior
Megan Feeg made a season-high 12 saves as Gettysburg pulled away in the second half to beat Swarthmore College 4-1 in a Centennial Conference field hockey game Saturday afternoon at a sunny Shirk Field at Musselman Stadium.
It was a 1-1 game at the half before the Bullets (4-6, 2-3 CC) scored three unanswered goals to win going away.
Junior
Hayward Sawers added a career-high three points via one goal and one assist for Gettysburg, which overcame deficits in shots (21-16) and corners (18-12) to snap a four-game losing streak.
Gabriella Capone made six stops for the Garnet (4-6, 2-4 CC)
The Bullets never trailed after Cole scored her first goal on a breakaway 6:50 into the game. The Garnet tied it with 24:45 left in the opening half when Sophia Agathis connected from 10 yards out off a corner.
Sawers put Gettysburg in front to stay when she converted a pass from Cole with 26:35 remaining. Cole and Sawers broke free on a 2-on-1 when Cole delivered a cross to Sawers, who drilled in a shot from five yards away on the left to make it 2-1.
Junior
Ally Duggan and Cole provided insurance tallies inside the final 20 minutes. With 19:36 showing, Duggan took a corner pass from Sawers and, from the left elbow, lifted a rainbow of a shot that sailed over the Garnet goalie. The ball deflected off the keeper's glove and into the cage for Duggan's second career goal.
Cole set the final score with 13:09 left, dribbling around a defender in the circle before slipping in a shot from the left post. Her last five-point game was also a two-goal, one-assist outing in a 3-0 win over Johns Hopkins University last season.
The Bullets are back in action on Wednesday, when they host seventh-ranked Messiah College in a non-conference game beginning at 4:30 p.m.
