Lynchburg, Va. -- The University of Lynchburg field hockey team erupted for 14 goals against Ferrum Wednesday night.

Wendriks reached her season-high in points during the first quarter. She contributed to Lynchburg's first four goals. The first two came off her stick, then she assisted on Olivia van Metre's and Khanyisile Mzizi's goals all before the 10-minute mark. 

The Hornets ran up two more scores before the first quarter ended. Mzizi tallied her first multigoal day, and Mallory Lamb scored her first-collegiate goal. 

The Hornets reached double-digits by halftime with two goals from Jenna Tangires, one from Marina Nadwodny, and the final one from Brooke Hyland. Lynchburg also registered 15 penalty corners before halftime. 

Anna Dorrestijn got the scoring started in the second half just before the end of the third quarter.

Those were Balsamo's first and second goals of her career.
