(Bridgewater, Va.) – The Dickinson field hockey team headed south to Virginia for the weekend, slated to play Bridgewater College on Saturday and #20-ranked Lynchburg College on Sunday. The Red Devils started the weekend with a 3-1 win over the Eagles.

The Red Devils struck with a pair of quick goals at the end of the first half. First-year Amber Dey (Flemington, N.J./South Hunterdon) put the Devils on the board, scoring with 3:47 remaining in the half.

Junior Alyssa Stillwell (Shamong, N.J./Seneca) doubled the lead, just 2:24 later netting her team-high sixth goal of the season, set-up by a long lead pass from sophomore Catherine Perlmutter (Blue Bell, Pa./Germantown Academy).

The Red Devils came out of halftime and quickly found the back of the cage for the third time. Perlmutter made the tally 3-0, scoring 13 minutes into the second half.

Perlmutter had another great chance just seconds later, but Eagle goaltender Amanda Harper was there to make a big save.

The Red Devil defense came up big as first-year Danielle Schwab (Highland, Md./River Hill) cleared a shot off the goal line with a defensive save on a Bridgewater penalty corner.

The Eagles would, however, find the cage on their next corner as Caroline Augsburger scored from the point to spoil the shutout with 4:58 remaining in the game.

First-year Lily Mott (Berwyn, Pa./Conestoga) came up with a pair of defensive saves behind junior goaltender Emily Fuss (Newtown Square, Pa./Academy of Notre Dame), who finished with nine saves on the afternoon.

Harper made five saves for Bridgewater as the Red Devils held a 16-4 advantage in penalty corners. The Devils held the edge in shots as well, 18-13, outshooting the Eagles, 11-6 in the second half.

The Red Devils improve to 5-1 on the season. They are in action again on Sunday, traveling to Lynchburg College for a 2:00 pm start.
