After dropping its season-opener, W&L is undefeated in its

Dominion Athletic Conference play.

for the season, led by sophomore forward Molly Plummer (New
Orleans, La./Sacred Heart), who leads the team with 30 points on 12
goals and six assists.
The Generals wrapped up regular season play with their third
straight win, 4-0, over Goucher on Saturday. They will host a
yet-undetermined opponent this Saturday in the first round of the
ODAC Tournament. A game time has not yet been set.
