Vincent Tallies Four Scores For Washington

CHESTERTOWN, Md. – Christy Bishop's fifth goal of the game with 3:14 to go in the game proved to be the game-winning goal to give visiting St. Mary's (Md.) a 10-9 victory over host #17 Washington College on Saturday afternoon at Kibler Field at Roy Kirby, Jr. Stadium in a non-conference women's lacrosse game.  The Seahawks improve to 2-0 with the win, while the Shorewomen slip to 0-1 with the loss.

Bishop's, whose winner came just 37 seconds after sophomore attacker Katherine Vincent (Wilton, Conn./Wilton) tied the game 9-9 on a feed from sophomore midfielder Alli Dudley (New Windsor, Md./Francis Scott Key), was open at the top of the crease and was able to put the shot past Washington sophomore goalkeeper Haylee Solomon (Wantagh, N.Y./Sanford H. Calhoun) on a feed from Tori Poffenberger in a one-on-one with Solomon.  The Shorewomen's last chance to tie the game came with 2:29 on a shot by Vincent, but her shot was turned away by Seahawks' goalkeeper Kayla Dunn.  The Seahawks were able to run out the clock and come away with the win.

Bishop opened the scoring 28 seconds into the game on a feed from Shelby Newman and the guests made it 2-0 just 2:06 into the contest on a Ali Moulis unassisted tally.  The Shorewomen pumped in the next three goals to take a 3-2 lead with 23:00 left in the opening half on Vincent's second goal of the game.  Vincent got the scoring going for the Shorewomen with 26:02 to go on a pass from senior midfielder Emily Hubley (West Chester, Pa./Bayard Rustin) and sophomore midfielder Cara Pascarella (Dix Hills, N.Y./Half Hollows Hills East) evened the contest with 24:52 to go on a free position.  The lead lasted just 1:56 as Poffenberger scored unassisted with 21:04 to go to knot it at 3-3 and Bishop cashed in on a free position goal to put the guests ahead 4-3 with 16:48 left.  Dudley found sophomore defender Daniela Falcone (Potomac, Md./Connelly School of the Holy Child) to tie the score at 4-4 with 14:58 to go before Bishop scored exactly a minute later to put the Seahawks back in front 5-4.  Freshman midfielder Rachael Shaw (Bechtelsville, Pa./Boyertown) evened the score at 5-5 with 12:16 remaining from Dudley.  St. Mary's (Md.) scored her fourth goal of the half from Newman with 6:39 to go before the Shorewomen tied it 19 seconds later on an unassisted tally from senior attacker Catherine Stanley (Freeland, Md./Hereford).

The Shorewomen took the lead 8:04 into the second half when Hubley scored unassisted to make it 7-6 before Moulis stole a clearing attempt and scored unassisted to level the game at 7-7 with 20:11 left.  Vincent scored her third goal of the day to put the Shorewomen back ahead 8-7 with 19:27 to go, but the Seahawks scored the next two to take a 9-8 lead with 10:01 left on a Erika Kopf unassisted goal.  Kopf's goal came 2:51 after Abbey Harrison scored from Bishop to tie the contest at 8-8.  The game would remain 9-8 until Vincent's goal with 3:51 to go.
