LEXINGTON, Va. -- Eastern Mennonite used three second half goals to defeat Washington and Lee, 4-1, in ODAC field hockey action on Wednesday afternoon at the W&L Turf Field.

The Royals (12-7, 8-1) got on the board first as sophomore defender Kelly Rohrer (Paradise, Pa./Lancaster Mennonite) tallied an unassisted goal at the 11:46 mark of the first half. The score would remain 1-0 until EMU freshman forward Valerie Kanagy (Reedsville, Pa./Belleville Mennonite) scored off assists from freshman forward Molly Harrington (Frederick, Md./Frederick) and Rohrer with 20:47 remaining in the game to make the score 2-0.

The Generals (3-9, 2-7 ODAC) cut the score to 2-1 with 15:34 remaining as freshman forward Ali Santoro (Bronxville, N.Y./Bronxville) scored off an assist from sophomore forward Kelly Taffe (Charlottesville, Va./Albemarle), but EMU would answer again.
