Peters Propels W&L Women's Soccer Past E&H, 5-1

Box Score

LEXINGTON, Va. – First-year midfielder Caroline Peters (Charlotte, N.C. / Charlotte Latin School) recorded her first collegiate hat trick to propel the Washington and Lee women's soccer team past Emory & Henry, 5-1, on Wednesday afternoon at the Liberty Ruins Turf Field.

Peters scored her first goal for W&L (13-3, 9-2 ODAC) when she found the back of the net off of a cross from junior forward Tricia Jessee (Roanoke, Va. / Patrick Henry) just 10:06 into the match.  E&H (3-11-3, 1-7-2 ODAC) responded 3:30 later when senior midfielder Emily Berlanger (Tampa, Fla. / Paul R. Wharton) tallied an equalizer.

Peters struck again at the 20:02 and 35:15 marks for the Generals. She netted the game-winner unassisted and then scored off of a pass from senior midfielder Erin Harvey (Mission Hills, Kan. / Pembroke Hill). Harvey went on to find the back of the net in the 44th minute off of an assist from first-year midfielder Liz Todd (Oldwick, N.J. / Gill St. Bernard's School), and the Blue and White took a 4-1 lead into halftime.

Sophomore midfielder Caroline Hahn (Richmond, Va. / Douglas Freeman) registered W&L's fifth goal of the contest at the 61:09 mark off of a Jessee assist to reach the final margin.

For the game, the Generals outshot the Wasps, 30-2, and held an 11-0 advantage in corner kicks.

Senior Addie Healy (Waterford, Va. / Woodgrove) and first-year Maggie Nolan (Flanders, N.J. / Mount Olive) split time in goal for W&L, with Healy collecting one save. Sophomore keeper Kayla Wright (Franklin County, Va. / Franklin County) suffered the loss for E&H, playing all 90 minutes of action and stopping 11 shots.

Washington and Lee returns to the field on Wednesday when it hosts an ODAC Women's Soccer Tournament quarterfinals match. The opponent and time are to be determined.
