HARRISONBURG, VA - The Lynchburg College field hockey team moves to 2-0 in Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) play and have now defeated Eastern Mennonite University the past 10 meetings with Tuesday's 5-3 victory.

Camille Williams got the game within one goal when she put her eighth score past the Hornet goalie at 16:18.

Morgan Lammando rounded out the scoring for the Hornets in the first half off a Catherine Rogerson assist.

Alyssa Mills found Taylor Quillen early in the second to extend Lynchburg's lead back to three goals, 4-1, but Emily Ausburger and Jenessa Derstine each scored in a seven minute span to cut the lead back to one with 17 minutes to play.

Kelsey Link added an insurance tally for the Hornets at 62:32 when she sent a rebound into the cage.

Lynchburg maintained a 19-13 lead in shots and 17-7 advantage in penalty corners. Hannah Daley made six saves for EMU (2-9/1-1) while Beka Hess made two stops for the Hornets.
