LEXINGTON, Va. – Sophomore attacker Hanna Bishop (Bronxville, N.Y. / Bronxville) scored a career-high six goals to lead top-seeded Washington and Lee to an 11-5 win over second-seeded Roanoke in the championship game of the ODAC Women's Lacrosse Tournament at Watt Field on Sunday.
 
Bishop got things started just 40 seconds into the game when she scored an unassisted goal for a 1-0 lead.  Junior midfielder Jenny Lisovicz (Glen Ridge, N.J. / Glen Ridge) scored on a free-position shot at the 11:09 mark for a 2-0 lead, but the Maroons (15-4) retaliated just 1:01 later when sophomore attacker Tiernan Conner scored unassisted to make it 2-1 with 10:08 left in the opening period.
 
Bishop scored her second goal on a free-position shot at the 8:26 mark, and junior attacker Allie Schwab (Bryn Mawr, Pa. / Harriton) found the back of the net on a free-position shot of her own to close the first quarter with a 4-1 advantage.
 
Roanoke opened the second quarter with a goal by senior attacker Lilly Blair at 13:58 to make it 4-2 and the Maroons' defense tightened from there, holding the Generals scoreless while another Blair goal pulled Roanoke to within 4-3 with 1:36 left in the first half.
 
W&L's (17-2) offense came alive in the final moments of the second quarter, however, with Bishop scoring back-to-back goals at 0:59 and :05 to give the Generals a 6-3 lead at the break.
 
The Blue & White began to assume control of the contest in the third period, holding the Maroons without a goal while adding scores from senior attacker Katherine Faria (Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. / Cold Spring Harbor) and Bishop, to assume an 8-3 lead heading into the fourth quarter.
 
Faria and Bishop both found the net in the opening 3:58 of the fourth period for a 10-3 lead and the Generals cruised from there.
 
W&L held a 23-16 advantage in shots and a 23-21 edge in ground balls.  The Blue & White also won 13 of 20 draws in the contest.
 
Bishop's career day was supplemented by three goals and one assist from Faria, and one goal and four assists from Schwab.  Lisovicz chipped in one goal and one assist.  Sophomore defender Eugenie Rovegno (Duxbury, Mass. / Duxbury) had a fantastic field game for W&L, tallying five draw controls, four ground balls and three caused turnovers.  Junior defender Sam Van Belle (Lebanon, N.J. / North Hunterdon) contributed three ground balls and three caused turnovers, while sophomore goalkeeper Caroline Kranich (State College, Pa. / Mercersburg Academy) registered five saves while playing all 60 minutes in goal.
 
Roanoke was led by Blair's three goals.  Connor added one goal and one assist, while sophomore goalkeeper Kyleigh Chickering made six stops in goal.
 
Washington and Lee receives the ODAC's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament.  The selection show will be streamed on NCAA.com on Monday at 10:30 am, and the first round is slated to be played on Saturday, May 14.
