W&L Field Hockey Falls, 2-0, to Lynchburg in ODAC Semis

LYNCHBURG, Va. -- The Washington and Lee field hockey team fell, 2-0, to top-seeded Lynchburg in the semifinal round of the ODAC Tournament on Friday afternoon in Lynchburg, Va.

Lynchburg (17-2), which held an 18-1 advantage in shots and a 9-1 edge in penalty corners, was led by Dawn McGaha who tallied a goal and an assist. With 26:30 remaining in the second half, the Hornets broke the 0-0 deadlock when Anna Moore found McGaha, who beat W&L freshman goaltender Elise Gelinas (Rosemont, Pa./Agnes Irwin) for the game's first score.

McGaha fed Kyla Hoffman with 8:22 left to play for the game's second goal, providing the final 2-0 margin.

Splitting the time in goal, freshmen Courtney Harrison (Richmond, Va./Collegiate) and Gelinas combined to turn back nine of the 11 shots they faced.

Joanne Yednock recorded the shutout for LC, which will advance to tomorrow's ODAC Championship to face the winner of the Eastern Mennonite/Roanoke match at 2:00 pm.

With the loss, the Generals wrap up their second season of full varsity play with a 10-9 record overall, 6-3 in ODAC, improving upon last season's inaugural 3-10 overall mark, 2-7 in ODAC.
