BRIDGEWATER, Va. - Bridgewater (7-7, 1-5 ODAC) was able to put two goals on the board late, but it wasn't enough as the Eagles fell to #8 Lynchburg (13-2, 6-0 ODAC) by an 8-2 score in Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) action at Mapp Field.

It was all Lynchburg in the first half, as the Hornets tallied the game's first goal at the 1:08 mark when an Allie Weir pass found the back of the cage off of an Erin Funkhouser shot to give Lynchburg a 1-0 advantage.

Jenny Weir would tally the next two Hornet goals at the 13:46 mark and the 18:03 mark to provide an extra cushion at 3-0.

Seven minutes later, Jordan Warrington netted Lynchburg's sixth goal of the game off of an Erin Funkhouser pass to push the score to 6-0.

Milks and Funkhouser would net another goal each before the Eagles got on the board off of a Leah Cossentino redirect of a Christina Pybus pass to cut into Lynchburg's lead and bring the score to 8-1.

Eighty-two seconds later the Eagles would score again when junior Brianna Jacques found the back of the net to finalize the scoring at 8-2.
