Kelli Williams Scores Twice as LC Defeats R-MC 2-0 to Win ODAC title
Hornets Capture Fifth-Straight ODAC Title
LYNCHBURG, VA - Freshman midfielder Kelli Williams (New Castle, DE/William Penn) scored the game's only two goals to lead the top-seeded Lynchburg College field hockey team to a 2-0 victory over #2 Randolph-Macon College in the finals of the 2010 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Championship tournament. It is the Hornets fifth-straight ODAC crown and the 14th in program history.
The Hornets out-shot Randolph-Macon 12-3 in the first half and had a 7-0 edge in penalty corners, but the game was scoreless heading into halftime. Nicole Woodworth made five first-half saves to keep the game tied at 0-0.
Williams broke the tie at the 37:58 mark (pictured left), deflecting in a Shelly Milks (Gloucester, VA/Gloucester) shot into the back of the cage. She struck a second time five minutes later, again deflecting in a shot, this time from Kristina Morris (Stafford, VA/Mountain View).
The Hornets held a 34-5 shot advantage for the game and 14-3 in penalty corners. Woodworth had 17 saves for the game, while Hornet keeper Tiffany Frye (Williamsburg, VA/Bruton) made five stops.
Randolph-Macon ends its season at 13-7, while the Hornets await the release of the 2010 NCAA Division III Tournament, to be announced Monday morning. It is LC's sixth-straight berth into the national tournament.
