HARRISONBURG, Va. -- The Washington and Lee women's soccer team won its second consecutive game as it defeated Eastern Mennonite on Saturday afternoon, 3-2.
The Generals fell behind early as Becky Yoder scored in the 29th minute of action. W&L tied the game at 1-1 one less than two minutes later as sophomore midfielder Heather Coleman (Blackwood, N.J./Triton Regional) scored off assists from sophomore forward Fontaine Marcoux (Washington, D.C./Potomac) and sophomore defender Meghan Hayde (Massapequa, N.Y./St. Anthony). The Royals took a 2-1 lead at halftime as Julie Kauffman scored in the 36th minute.
Senior midfielder Drew Powers (Atlanta, Ga./The Lovett School) tied the game in the 48th minute as she scored her first goal of the season off an assist from Marcoux. Senior midfielder Kate Bidwell (Pensacola, Fla./Escambia) scored the game-winner six minutes into the second half off an assist from Marcoux. It was the thrid goal of the season for Bidwell. The three assists for Marcoux tied a school-record for assists in a game. She also accomplished the feat against Ferrum last season.
Freshman goalkeeper Emily Barker (Clifton, Va./Mount Vernon) made two saves to earn her second consecutive win.
The Generals return to action Tuesday when they host Bridgewater at 4:00 pm.
