LEXINGTON, Va. -- Senior midfielder Stephanie Roselle (Tinton Falls, N.J./Red Bank Catholic) scored a pair of goals, including the game-winner with 1:46 remaining, to lift Catholic University past Washington and Lee, 2-1, in field hockey action on Saturday afternoon.
The Generals (4-7) were the first to find the net when junior forward Kristen Brown (Baltimore, Md./Catonsville) scored off a pass from sophomore midfielder Jane Beall (Richmond, Va./James River) with 32:11 remaining in the first half.
Catholic (6-6) evened the score as Roselle tallied her first goal with 18:12 left in the game. With the clock winding down, the Cardinals succeeded in their come-back bid as Roselle sank the game-winning goal with less than two minutes to play. Sophomore forward Jamie Punyko (Langhorne, Pa./Neshaminy) and senior defender Sondra Pires (Dartmouth, Mass./Dartmouth) each recorded an assist.
Sophomores Elise Gelinas (Rosemont, Pa./Agnes Irwin) and Courtney Harrison (Richmond, Va./Collegiate) split time in the W&L goal. Harrison started and made six saves, while Gelinas took over duties in the second half with six saves.
Junior Erin Swift (Middletown, Pa./Red Bank Catholic) played in the goal for Catholic, making seven stops on the match.
