BRIDGEWATER, Va. - The Bridgewater College field hockey team fell 6-0 in conference action to No. 19 Lynchburg on Wednesday night at Jopson Athletic Complex.

The Eagles best chance came in the second quarter when Bekah Mercer took a high shot that just skimmed the top edge of the cage. 

Brooke Hamm stepped up on a penalty stroke from Lynchburg's Jackie Lerro to make an impressive save just before the half. The senior keeper made eight saves on the night. 

Lynchburg scored a flurry of goals in the third quarter that was too much for the Eagles to recover from.

Bridgewater is now 4-7 on the year and 1-1 in the ODAC. The Eagles will travel to Lexington on Saturday to face Washington & Lee.
