Lexington, Va. -- The No. 17-ranked University of Lynchburg field hockey team saw its 32-game Old Dominion Athletic Conference win streak snapped Wednesday night at the hands of No. 14 Washington and Lee by a 3-2 margin.

The Generals got on the board first when Grace Weise scored on a counterattack in the fourth minute. Lynchburg quickly evened the tally, however, thanks to a seventh-minute goal by Emily Dudley that Kaylie Truitt assisted.

The teams played scoreless hockey for most of the rest of the first half until W&L struck again late in the second. Weise was again the culprit in the 25th minute, and the hosts added another goal in the 29th minute.

Just 44 seconds later, Aaryn Boatwright took a Dudley feed and shoveled it into the cage to cut the deficit to 3-2 at halftime, but that's all the Hornets could manage.

Lynchburg earned six second-half penalty corners, but both defenses held up in the final 30 minutes to hand the Hornets their first ODAC regular-season loss since Sept. 27, 2017, also a one-goal defeat in Lexington.

Goalie Kayla Brady kept Lynchburg in the game Wednesday with a career-high 14 saves, and Boatwright and Madison Mark each made a defensive save to highlight the Hornet stat sheet.

Lynchburg (8-4, 3-1 ODAC) will look to start another conference winning streak Saturday at home against Randolph-Macon at 2 p.m. to kick off the Hornets' Homecoming festivities.
