WASHINGTON, Pa. – The Wittenberg field hockey team put the finishing touches on the first long road trip of the 2013 season with a 4-0 loss at Washington & Jefferson.

Playing their second game in less than 24 hours in searing late-summer heat, the loss dropped Wittenberg to 1-3 on the young season. The Presidents improved to 3-1.

Washington & Jefferson posted a pair of goals in each half en route to the victory. For the game, the Presidents held an 18-9 advantage in shots, while the difference in penalty corner opportunities was much less at just 11-10 in favor of W&J.

Junior Casey Fry (Chelsea, Mich./Chelsea) led the way offensively for Wittenberg with six shots, including four on frame. W&J was forced into seven total saves, including a pair of defensive saves by field players.

Wittenberg picked up eight saves from freshman Sarah Brownell (Ocnomowoc, Wis./University Lake School), the starter in goal. Freshman Laura Jansing (Cincinnati, Ohio/Mount Notre Dame) played the last 11:43, making two saves without allowing a goal. In addition, freshman Sydney Lang (Dresher, Pa./Upper Dublin) was credited with a defensive save.

The Tigers now return home for a five-game homestand that opens the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) schedule, starting with games against Wooster on Saturday, Sept. 14 and Oberlin on Sunday, Sept. 15.
