LEXINGTON, Va. -- Sophomore midfielder Kerry Giblin (Ho-Ho-Kus, N.J./North Highlands Reg.) used her third goal of the season to propel the Washington and Lee women's soccer team past Lynchburg, 1-0, in Old Dominion Athletic Conference action on Saturday afternoon.

Shortly after play resumed in the second half, W&L (4-0, 3-0) freshman forward Anne Wilshire (Richmond, Va./Collegiate) blasted a shot off Hornet (3-3-2, 1-1) keeper Erin Johnson (Davidsville, Md./South River). The ensuing rebound bounced uncontrolled around the box, and off several defenders before Giblin collected it, and drove it to the left post.

The score was all that was needed to give the Generals their second straight decision over Lynchburg. Washington and Lee defeated the Hornets in the 2002 ODAC Championship match, besting them 5-4 on penalty kicks after battling to a 0-0 draw in field play.

In goal, junior Emily Barker (Clifton, Va./Mount Vernon) served all 90 minutes for the Generals. She recorded three saves. Johnson made one save for Lynchburg in the loss.

The Hornets held a 13-7 advantage in shots and a 5-2 advantage in corner kicks.

The Generals return to action Tuesday, Sept. 23, when they travel to Hollins. Game time is 4:30 p.m.
