The Basics 

Score: Bridgewater 4, DePauw 2

Records: Bridgewater 2-4, DePauw 2-3

How It Happened 

  • Bridgewater struck early on a penalty corner. Carynn Klingler fired a shot on the attempt and had it turned away, but Kiley Parker scooped up the loose change for her first goal of her collegiate career to make it 1-0 under two minutes in. BC dominated the pace of play in the opening stanza as the Eagles had multiple shots turned away, including another good look on a penalty corner at the six-minute mark. 

  • BC added to the lead early in the second quarter as Lexi Francis extended the advantage with her tally just over a minute into the period. DePauw flipped the field with its first chance of the day, but it was turned aside by Ashley Nau. Each team had chances down the stretch, but it was DePauw that struck as Elie Lockhead sliced the lead in half with under a minute to go in the half. BC had a penalty corner in the closing seconds and did not strike to send it to the half at a 2-1 Eagle edge.

  • The Eagles struck again early in the third quarter on the back end of a penalty corner. This time, Mollie Best rifled a shot to the back of the cage to make it 3-1 for the Eagles 1:27 into the stanza. DePauw had a flurry of chances in the middle of the quarter, but multiple shots sailed wide, and a save from Madalyn Miller kept the two-goal edge heading to the fourth. 

  • Bridgewater nearly struck within the opening two minutes again, but Francis hit the post with her shot. BC had a penalty corner a few moments later, and it led to a similar result as Maylynn Watson found the back of the net on an assist from Casey Grell to make it 4-1 with 10 minutes to play. DePauw pushed for offense and was rewarded as a second-chance effort on a penalty corner from Ella Mickey made it a 4-2 edge. Each team traded possessions down the stretch, but the Eagles' defense held on for the victory.
