SWEET BRIAR DOWNS GUILFORD, 14-3, IN ODAC WOMEN'S LACROSSE MATCH
Sweet Briar, VA (4/7/05) -- Freshman Ellie Donahue scored five goals and
two assists to lead Sweet Briar past Guilford, 14-3, in an Old Dominion Athletic
Conference (ODAC) women's lacrosse match Wednesday. The Vixens improve to 8-3
overall, 3-1 in the ODAC, with their third straight win. The Quakers drop to 5-6
overall, 2-4 in the league, with their third loss in four games.
"I thought we were more aggressive, which helped
us control the tempo of the game. Our defense did a great job and gave us a lot
of options," said Sweet Briar coach Missy Ackerman.
Five different Vixens scored in the first half,
as Sweet Briar grabbed a 5-1 lead at halftime. Bethany Bressan added three goals
and three assists for Sweet Briar. Sophomore goalie Emily Fitzpatrick stopped 14
shots in the game.
Guilford freshman Mary Hutchins scored all
three Guilford goals. Freshman goalie Devorah Litt made nine stops.
Sweet Briar is home again Saturday against
Washington and Lee at 2 p.m. The Quakers host Randolph-Macon Saturday (4/9) in
an ODAC contest.
