LEXINGTON, Va. – First-year Anne Masich (Raleigh, N.C./Needham B Broughton) registered her first-ever career hat trick to lead the Washington and Lee women's soccer team to a 9-0 victory over Ferrum on Wednesday afternoon at Watt Field.
The Generals (3-1) jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first 9:10 of the contest aided by goals from senior forward Anne Van Devender (Jackson, Miss./Rosemary Choate Rosemary Hall). First-year forward Kat Barnes (Charlotte, N.C./Myers Park) found the back of the net off of a first-year midfielder Dory Blackey (Versailles, Ky./Sayre School) assist at 27:44 to give the Blue and White a 3-0 advantage at the half. W&L then added six more goals, including Masich's hat trick late in the second half, to cruise to the 9-0 final.
Masich's six points paced the Generals, while Van Devender registered five points on two goals and one assist. Senior forward Katie Kern (Charleston, W.Va./Charleston Catholic) and Barnes tallied two goals apiece, respectively, while Blackey chipped in two assists in the Blue and White's effort.
First-year goalkeeper Emily Leary (Loveland, Ohio/Kings) played the entire contest between the pipes for W&L and did not make any saves, while FC (1-5) sophomores Katie Hodkinson (Mt. Crawford, Va./Spotswood) and Bridgett Hall ( Ruther Glen, Va./VCU) and first-year Houstan Boles (Lawsonville, N.C./Patrick County) split time in goal combining to make 15 saves.
The Generals return to ODAC action on Saturday when they travel to Virginia Wesleyan for a 4:30 pm contest.
