Box Score NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -
The Bridgewater Eagles field hockey team fell by a 2-0 score on the
road to the #8 Christopher Newport Captains (14-2) in the team's
non-conference finale at Captain's Field.
Bridgewater's (9-7) stingy defense,
held the eighth-ranked Captains off of the scoreboard for the first
34-plus minutes, until a Katelyn Yandle shot found the back corner
of the cage with 23 ticks left in the first half to put CNU ahead
1-0 as the game entered the intermission.
Out of the halftime break, the
Eagles kept it at a one-goal differential until the 48:58 mark when
Yandel tallied her second goal of the game off of a tip in, to put
CNU ahead 2-0, which is where the game would end.
Bridgewater's offense was held
without a shot in the loss, as the Captains outshot the Eagles by a
12-0 tally.
Junior goalkeeper Taylor Waddell
(Reedsville, Pa./Indian Valley) recorded four saves in the
loss.
Bridgewater rounds out the regular
season on Wednesday when Washington and Lee comes to town. Action
against the Generals is slated for a 4:00 p.m. start.
