Field Hockey Sends Seniors Out With 4-3 Victory on Senior Day

Box Score

BRIDGEWATER, Va. - On Senior Day for the Bridgewater Eagles (8-8) It was Shenandoah (7-8) scoring the game's first goal and last goal, but it was all BC in the middle of the contest as the Eagles sent the seniors away from Mapp Field in style with a 4-3 victory.

Shenandoah got on the board at the 10:23 mark when a Paola Aguilar pass found the back of the net off of a Casey Hertel shot to give the visiting Hornets a 1-0 lead.

Bridgewater answered 12 minutes later when senior forward Christina Pybus netted the equalizer at the 22:55 mark to knot the game at one a piece.

Pybus then netted her second goal of the game off of a pass from junior Brianna Jacques, to put BC ahead by a 2-1 margin. Pybus' second goal was her 12th of the year.

Bridgewater came out of the intermission on fire when junior Kalah Hess notched her first of two second half goals off of a pass from Kristen Combs to extend BC's advantage to 3-1.

Shenandoah would answer BC's third goal with one of its own when a through pass from Maria Payne caught the stick of Megan Garrett and found the goal to cut Bridgewater's lead to 3-2.

Hess put the BC lead back to two when she took a Joan Burleson pass from deep in the near corner and beat the Hornets keeper to the near side to give BC a 4-2 advantage.

Shenandoah netted a late goal with two seconds left, but it was too little, too late as the Eagles snapped their four game losing streak with a 4-3 out of conference victory over the visiting Hornets.

Hess' two goals led all scorers as the Lancaster, Pa. native netted her fourth and fifth goals of the season to help propel BC to victory.

In the cage, senior Elizabeth Sullivan picked up the win, turning away six shots, while allowing three goals.

Shenandoah keeper Danielle Lawson recorded the loss, allowing all four goals while turning away five Eagles scoring attempts.

The game marked the final home contest for Pybus, Sullivan and BC defender Kelli Worst.

Bridgewater rounds out the regular season on Saturday when the team travels to Roanoke, with game-time being slated for a 6:00 p.m. start. BC currently sits one game out of sixth place in the conference and is in a must-win scenario on Saturday for the team to make the conference post-season tournament.
