LEXINGTON, Va. -- Senior forward Sallie Armstrong (Houston,
Texas/St. John's) tallied two goals and an assist and
first-year midfielder Katharine Price (Concord,
Mass./Concord-Carlisle) notched a pair of goals as the Washington
and Lee field hockey team blanked Roanoke, 7-0, on Tuesday
afternoon at the W&L Turf Field.
W&L (6-6, 4-2 ODAC) had seven different players register at
least one point in winning for the fifth time in its last seven
games, while the Maroons slipped to 2-10 overall and 2-3 in the
ODAC.
The Generals jumped on the board in the fourth minute of the game
when Armstrong netted the first of her goals off a penalty corner
with sophomore forward Christina Benedetti (Derwood, Md./Holy
Cross) assisting. Junior defender Kelly Tran (Simsbury, Conn./Ethel
Walker) made it 2-0 when she scored unassisted at the 14:19
mark.
W&L would make it 3-0 heading into the break when senior
forward Steph Mansey (Mendham, N.J./Randolph) deposited a pass from
Armstrong past RC sophomore Cristina Scichilone (South Yarmouth,
Mass./Nauset Regional) at 21:28.
Price scored the first of her two goals just 21 seconds into the
second half when Benedetti found her in front of the cage to put
the score at 4-0. Armstrong then notched her second goal at the
40:59 mark following a pass from junior midfielder Emmy Mathews
(Baltimore, Md./Bryn Mawr). Armstrong, who recently became
W&L's all-time leading scorer, has now registered eight
goals and two assists in her last five games after recording just
three goals in her first six games of the season.
The Generals added two late unassisted tallies, the first by Price
at 63:03 and the second by sophomore defender Susie Giampalmo
(Glenwood, Md./Glenelg) at 63:33, to account for the final 7-0
score.
On the game, the Generals outshot Roanoke 34-1 and boasted a 16-1
advantage in penalty corners. Scichilone made 14 saves for the
Maroons, while senior Caroline Habliston (Alexandria, Va./St.
Stephen's & St. Agnes) and first-year Caroline Sutherland
(Huntington, N.Y./Cold Spring Harbor) both saw time in the cage for
W&L.
