HAVERFORD, Pa. – Senior Shannon Keeler (Moorestown, N.J./Moorestown) posted 10 saves and senior Caroline Jaeger (Hampton, N.J./North Hunterdon) scored four goals as third-ranked Gettysburg College blew past Haverford College 16-5 Saturday afternoon.
 
Gettysburg (11-2, 4-1 CC) was slow to start on the offensive side of the field as Haverford (5-7, 1-4 CC) jumped out to a 2-1 advantage. The Bullets' attack started rolling midway through the opening period with Jaeger kick-starting a seven-goal run at 15:30. Junior Katie Willis (Baltimore, Md./Notre Dame Prep) tossed in all three of her goals in the opening half as Gettysburg took a 5-2 lead at the break.
 
The Bullets tacked on three more goals to start the second half. Back-to-back free-position tallies by junior Maggie McClain (Wexford, Pa./Sewickley Academy) and freshman Courtney Patterson (Whitehouse Station, N.J./Hunterdon Central Regional) pushed the advantage to 8-2 with 21:48 to play.
 
Keeler helped keep the Fords at bay with six second-half saves. She tallied two stops in the midst of a 4-0 run which propelled the visitors in front 16-4 with three minutes remaining.
 
Gettysburg led in shots (32-16), ground balls (20-11), and draw controls (13-10).
