It was not a lack of effort by the Vixens it was just not their
day as Washington and Lee University went on to beat Sweet Briar
5-2. The Vixens held the generals to a 0-0 game
through half time but the second half proved a different game as
Washington and Lee got on the board 8 minutes into the second half.
The Vixens fought back and with a goal from sophomore Forward Ariel
Yoder 8 minutes later tying the game at one goal apiece.
It appeared to be the Generals day going on a scoring streak
adding four more goals to their tally. But Junior Lindsay Eneguess
(Peterborough, N.H.) showed that she was not done, by scoring
off a beautiful chip shot to put the score at 5-2. It would stay
that way for the rest of the game.
Leading the defense today was senior Sara Sheppard (Virginia
Beach, Va.) who lead by example coming up with the ball on numerous
breakaways. Also stepping up for the vixens was
sophomore Alexandra St. Pierre (So.Hamilton, Mass.), who was
able to create multiple opportunities around the cage and in the
midfield. In goal for the Vixens was sophomore Madeline Wilson
(Orange, Va.) with 17 saves.
