Field Hockey Honor Roll
Sara Roth, Eastern Mennonite University, Senior -
Midfield
Roth helped EMU post two shutouts this week. Her defense
helped limit Washington & Lee to just three shots on goal in a
6-0 win for the Lady Royals. She also scored against the Generals,
her first goal of the year. Against Sweet Briar, Roth scored a goal
and assisted on another while her defense helped smother the Vixens
to just one shot attempt (none on goal). This week was just the
second week back in action for Roth, who missed three weeks with a
hand injury.
Jenny Weir, Lynchburg College, Senior - Attack
Weir was very productive in a 3-0 week for the Hornets.
Weir scored in all three games, dishing out assists in the last two
contests against VWC and Frostburg State. Weir now has 11 assists
on the season, which leads the squad and ODAC and ranks seventh in
the nation.
Chelsea Baker, Virginia Wesleyan College, Sophomore -
Goalkeeper
Five days after recording a career-high 29 at home against
EMU, Baker improved her total when she recorded 31 saves at
Lynchburg against the nationally-ranked Hornets. Her total is
the third highest in VWC history and marks her as only the third
VWC field hockey goalie to record 30 or more saves in one
game. Baker followed that effort with 15 saves on Sunday
against the University of Mary Washington. She now has 126
saves this season.
