BOX SCORE

RICHMOND, Va. -- The Longwood University field hockey team got a goal and an assist from freshman Cristin Newbold/Norfolk, Va. (Maury) to help propel the Lancers to a 2-0 victory over Georgetown University at Crenshaw Field in Richmond this afternoon. Longwood (1-2), who earned its first victory of the season, will be back in action Sunday September 12 when they travel to play Virginia Commonwealth. Game time is slated for 1:00 p.m.

The Lancers got on board sixteen minutes into the contest when junior Alexis Ramey/Westminster, Calif. (Marina) found Newbold on the left wing. Newbold controlled the ball and beat Hoya goalkeeper sophomore Abby Winer to give Longwood the 1-0 advantage.

The Lancers held strong for the rest of the first half and were able to get an insurance goal at the 63:18 mark of the second half when Newbold slipped a pass to freshman Mary Freeman/Fredericksburg, Va. (Stafford) who then scored her first collegiate goal.

Longwood finished with 22 shots, including 10 on goal, while Georgetown was limited to five shots on goal. Senior goalkeeper Julie Patterson/Esmont, Va. (Monticello) finished the day with five saves, while Winer made eight saves for Georgetown.
