SHEPHERDSTOWN, WVA –
Kendall Fortune (Jarrettsville, Md./North Harford) and
Sydney Wasdick (Pottsgrove, Pa./Pottsgrove) each scored four goals, and
Lila McMahon-Skates (West Linn, Ore./West Linn) finished with a game-high eight points as visiting West Chester downed homestanding Shepherd, 20-6, in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division contest Saturday afternoon.
West Chester (7-1, 3-0 PSAC East) won its seventh straight contest, following a season-opening loss, while Shepherd fell to 1-6 overall and 1-3 in conference play.
The Golden Rams opened the tilt with six straight goals and never looked back. Wasdick powered that spurt with a pair of goals and an assist. A seven-goal run through much of the third and beginning of the fourth put the game away. Fortune scored three of her four tallies during that run.
West Chester scored four extra-player goals and even added a player-down marker. Freshman
Riley MacHenry (Mullica Hill, N.J./Clearview Regional) scored her first college goal in the fourth quarter.
Morgan Koons (Mountain Top, Pa./Crestwood) made three saves in the first half to improve to 7-0 in the cage for West Chester. Each of the Golden Rams' other goalkeepers played a quarter each in the second half.
West Chester travels to East Stroudsburg next Wednesday for a 3:30 p.m. conference tilt at Whitenight Field.
