Generals Athletics--Washington and Lee University

MONTCLAIR, N.J. -- The Washington and Lee field hockey team saw its school-record 11-game winning streak come to an end with a 2-0 loss at Montclair State in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament on Wednesday afternoon.

The Generals' defense kept them in the game throughout as senior goalkeeper Courtney Harrison (Richmond, Va./Collegiate) notched seven first-half saves. However, the Red Hawks (17-2) found the cage with just 31 seconds remaining in the first half as Jennifer Tanis scored off an assist from Jen Soss.

The score remained 1-0 until MSU's Alexandria Kelly found the cage unassisted at the 55:41 mark of the second half for a 2-0 lead. Senior Elise Gelinas (Gladwyne, Pa./Agnes Irwin) played the second half in goal for W&L, recording three saves. The Generals' defense helped thwart several other scoring opportunities for the Red Hawks as senior midfielder S.B. Northen (Richmond, Va./Collegiate), junior defender Rebecca Hatchett (Newport news, Va./Hampton Roads), and freshman defender Liz Garson (Richmond, Va./Collegiate) combined to make six defensive saves.

Montclair State held a 19-2 advantage in shots and a 17-2 edge in penalty corners. Robyn Apicelli played all 70 minutes in goal for the Red Hawks, making two saves.

The loss ends W&L's season at 15-6 overall. The Generals, in just their sixth season as a varsity program, claimed their first ODAC Championship and first berth to the NCAA Tournament. The 15 wins also established a new school record.

LEXINGTON, Va. -- Washington and Lee senior forward Jane Beall (Richmond, Va./James River) scored two goals to give the top-seeded Generals a 2-1 victory over second-seeded Lynchburg in the ODAC Field Hockey Championship game on Saturday afternoon at the W&L Turf Field. This is W&L's first ODAC title in program history.

The Generals (15-5) controlled the game for most of the first half, but it was the Hornets (15-6) who jumped on the scoreboard first when senior defender Dawn McGaha (Wyoming, Del./Caesar Rodney) tallied an unassisted goal at the 20:51 mark.

Lynchburg held its 1-0 advantage for the rest of the first half, but W&L tied the game at 1-1 just 4:26 into the second stanza when Beall scored off an assist from sophomore midfielder Kendall Korte (Virginia Beach, Va./Cox). Beall then scored the game-winning goal at 58:55.

The Hornets had a chance to tie the game late in the contest, but senior forward Andrea Fleming's (Milford, Del./Milford) blast was saved by Generals' senior goalkeeper Elise Gelinas (Gladwyne, Pa./Agnes Irwin).

Senior goalkeeper Courtney Harrison (Richmond, Va./Collegiate) played the opening 35 minutes and made two saves, while Gelinas was between the posts for the final 35 minutes and made one save to pick up her second win of the season. Junior netminder Elizabeth Foskey (Williamsburg, Va./Jamestown) played the entire game and stopped five shots for the Hornets.

Beall's two goals pushed her season point total to 38, which ties the school record set by Kelly Taffe '03 in 2003. She was named to the all-tournament team along with Korte, senior midfielder Kate Lester (Wilmington, Del./Friends) and senior midfielder S.B. Northen (Richmond, Va./Collegiate), who was named tournament MVP.
