WASHINGTON, Pa. -- Four different Presidents scored as a balanced team effort helped the Washington & Jefferson College field hockey team earn a 4-0 victory over visiting Oberlin College Saturday evening under the lights at Cameron Stadium.
Lily Giering (Reading, Pa./Exeter Township) and
Hailey Wachowiak (Wexford, Pa./North Allegheny) recorded a goal and an assist to help pace the offensive efforts.
Sara Schriver (Greenville, S.C. / Christ Church Episcopal School) opened the scoring with a first quarter goal. Schriver's first goal of the season came off an assist from Giering in the fifth minute of play.
Wachowiak made it 2-0 with an unassisted goal in the 11th minute. Wachowiak dribbled in, spun and sent a shot past the Oberlin goalie to extend the Presidents lead. The score remained 2-0 as W&J was held off the scoreboard in the second quarter.
Giering collected a rebound and scored in the 40th minute of play. Giering's third quarter goal was assisted by Wachowiak.
Ella Phillips (Arnold, Md./Broadneck) got into the scoring act with a fourth quarter tally. The successful penalty stroke goal by Phillips was the first of the collegiate career for the W&J defensive stalwart.
Anastascia Godat (Baltimore, Md./Concordia Preparatory School) made two saves for her second shutout of the season.
W&J held a 14-3 shot advantage and an 11-4 margin in penalty corner chances.
