Foster Leads Field Hockey Over Gwynedd Mercy

ANNVILLE, Pa. – Lauren Foster scored the first two goals of her career to lead the Lebanon Valley Field Hockey team to a 5-0 victory over Gwynedd Mercy University on Saturday afternoon on Arnold Field.
 
The Dutchmen (9-1) controlled possession for most of the game as they limited the Griffins from even getting onto their offensive side of the field. The Dutchmen earned the first penalty corner in the second minute as Jenna Angstadt was able to get off a pir of shots off the corner. Her first shot was saved, and the rebound effort was blocked. A couple minutes later, Sorrell Long had her shot off another penalty corner blocked before Claire Weidenhammer had her attempt at goal saved off the rebound. The Dutchmen continued their attack in the quarter but were unable to get a score on 10 shots with just three reaching the goalkeeper for a save.
 
The Dutchmen were finally able to break through in the second quarter as Foster redirected a shot from Gracie Johnson into the back of the cage for her first career goal. Johnson sent a bouncing ball in from the right side and Foster was able to get a stick on it to redirect the shot pass the goalkeeper. Lexi Ward had back-to-back shots saved as LVC looked to increase their lead before the half. The Dutchmen earned a penalty stroke with a minute left and Long calmly lifted the ball into the upper right corner of the cage for her seventh goal of the season.
 
Weidenhammer gave the Dutchmen a 3-0 lead 3:21 into the second half as she knocked a rebound in after a Griffin defender made a great defensive save on a shot by Long from the top of the circle off a penalty corner. Mel Mercado and Jillian Tait had shots saved in the final five minutes of the quarter before Tait redirected a feed by Long from outside the circle into the back of the cage for her second goal of the season. Long sent a bullet into the circle and Tait was able to get a stick on it and knock it into the back of the cage with five seconds left.
 
Foster scored her second goal of the game in the 53rd minute off an assist by Mercado to make it 5-0. LVC nearly scored again in the final minute as Johnson had a shot blocked and then Weidenhammer had a shot saved. Gwynedd Mercy had three shots at goal in the final seconds, but Ella Weidenhammer kept all three attempts out to preserve the shutout.
