Box Score

GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Junior Shannon Keeler (Moorestown, N.J./Moorestown) recorded 10 saves to lead sixth-ranked Gettysburg College past No. 20 Dickinson College in Centennial Conference women's lacrosse action at Clark Field.
 
Gettysburg (9-1, 3-0 CC)  built a 5-0 lead as Keeler picked up five saves in the first half, including three on free-position shots. She stopped a low shot by Maddy Siebold off a free position 72 seconds into the game and the Bullets came right back on the offensive end with the game's first score by senior Abby Baigelman (Larchmont, N.Y./Mamaroneck).
 
After three more goals by the hosts, another save by Keeler on a free-position attempt by Jennifer Morrissey led to an unassisted score by sophomore Katie Landry (Hingham, Mass./Hingham) to make it 5-0 with 6:07 left in the first half.
 
The Bullets opened up an 8-1 lead with the first three tallies of the final stanza, including free-position goals by Landry and senior Amanda Borucki (Westminster, Md./North Carroll).
 
Dickinson (5-4, 2-1 CC), which staged second-half rallies to win its last two outings against No. 14 Messiah College and Ursinus College, rattled off four of the next five goals. After Maddy Siebold scored at 16:35, Caroline Clancy found Morrissey 31 seconds later to cut the deficit to 9-5.
 
The Red Devils looked to cut the margin to three, but once again Keeler stood tall in the cage, knocking away a free-position shot by Sam Marmo. Dickinson came up with the possession only to have sophomore Cassie Smith (Phoenix, Md./St. Paul's School for Girls) knock the ball loose. The defensive stop led to a nice feed from Connolly to sophomore Katie Willis (Baltimore, Md./Notre Dame Prep) in front of the cage to put the score at 10-5 with 10:55 left.
 
Keeler made her final stop with 1:32 remaining and Borucki polished off the win with a free-position goal with 29 seconds left.
 
Gettysburg turned in its best shooting performance of the season with 11 goals on just 16 attempts. Dickinson won 12-of-19 draws and finished 15-of-15 on clear attempts.
