W&L Field Hockey Outlasts Randolph-Macon, 2-1, in Overtime

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Freshman midfielder Jane Beall (Midlothian, Va./James River) scored with 8:47 remaining in overtime to lift the Washington and Lee field hockey team to a 2-1 victory over Randolph-Macon on Thursday afternoon in Charlottesville, Va.

The Yellow Jackets (6-8, 2-6 ODAC) jumped out to a 1-0 lead with 10:21 to play in the first half when Cory Wood scored off a pass from Lyndsay Edginton.

W&L (8-7, 6-3 ODAC) rebounded to tie the score at 1-1 with 23:23 remaining in the second half when sophomore defender Erin Rathbone (Darnestown, Md./Northwest) scored on a penalty stroke. Neither team was able to put the ball in the cage for the remainder of regulation, setting the stage for Beall's overtime game-winner.

Freshmen goaltenders Courtney Harrison (Richmond, Va./Collegiate) and Elise Gelinas (Rosemont, Pa./Agnes Irwin) each saw time in the Generals' cage, combining to make five saves. Samantha Molden turned back seven shots in the Randolph-Macon goal.

The Generals will be back on the field this Saturday when they host St. Mary's for a 3:30 pm contest.
