The William & Mary field hockey team put on an offensive clinic Sunday afternoon against Georgetown, peppering the Hoyas with 37 shots en route to a 7-2 victory at Busch Field.  The Tribe improved to 5-5 on the year with the win, while the Hoyas fell to 5-7 overall.

How it Happened
- W&M came out of the gates firing, and out-shot the Hoyas 15-0 in the first quarter while taking four penalty corners.
- The Tribe got on the board in the seventh minute, as senior Woodard Hooper (Williamsburg, Va.) got the ball on the baseline and drove in on the defense, stepping past the goalkeeper and firing back across her body for the goal, her fourth of the season.
- W&M tacked on another early in the 13th minute.  Sophomore captain Cara Menges (Richmond, Va.) shot from the high elbow across to the far post, where the ball found the stick of junior Melanie Strik (Den Haag, The Netherlands) and deflected in past the keeper for a 2-0 advantage.
- Just 30 seconds into the second quarter, Menges struck again, carrying the ball from the sideline off a restart all the way into the circle and firing off a powerful shot into the back netting for a 3-0 lead.
- Georgetown worked themselves up to a response, taking five shots in the second quarter and generating two corners.  Sophomore goalkeeper Kimi Jones (Virginia Beach, Va.) made two saves in the first two minutes of the quarter, before the Hoyas broke through at the start of the 24th minute.  Abby English swept the ball from near the boundary down to Ellie Maransky at the near post, and Maransky was able to cradle the ball around Jones and in to cut the score to 3-1 in favor of W&M.
- The Tribe added one more goal before halftime, after earning another penalty corner in the 29th minute.  Senior captain Christie van de Kamp (Midlothian, Va.) swept the ball down to her classmate and fellow captain Annie Snead (Midlothian, Va.) at the near post, and Snead knocked her shot into the back boards to restore the three-goal margin, 4-1.
- The third quarter proved much of the same, although W&M was only able to add one more goal.  The Tribe out-shot the Hoyas 7-3, and senior goalkeeper Morgan Connor (Bedford, N.Y.) made all three of her saves after coming on to start the second half.
- W&M's goal came at the end of the 41st minute out of another penalty corner.  Snead started the play with an insert to sophomore Jorja Morgan (Wakerley, Queensland, Australia), who then set the ball for van de Kamp.  The captain's shot took a deflection off the stick of an onrushing defender, and kicked high over the goalkeeper into the top netting for the 5-1 lead.
- Connor made one save in the first five minutes, and then stood tall in free time at the end of the quarter as the Hoyas were awarded successive penalty corners with no time on the clock.  She turned away both shots taken from the initial set, preserving the 5-1 score as the teams headed to the bench.
- W&M tacked on two more goals in the fourth and final quarter.  The first came in the 52nd minute, after junior Ashley Drum (Virginia Beach, Va.) had her shot blocked away out of the circle.  Snead chased the rebound down, and then sent the ball back into the circle and found Menges on the far elbow.  The sophomore swung away at the bouncing ball, connecting in mid-air to one-time the pass into the back of the net for her second goal of the game.
- The Hoyas responded in the 55th minute with their second goal, this one off a penalty corner, as Cami Osborne scored after a pass and set by Ali Cronin and Jax van der Veen.
- The Tribe finished things off in the 57th minute.  Almost immediately after Georgetown's goal, W&M rushed the ball into their circle, and unleashed a flurry of shots from Ella Donahue (Midlothian, Va.), Sally Snead (Midlothian, Va.), and Caitlin Maclean (Devizes, Wiltshire, England), and earned a penalty corner off Maclean's second attempt.  On the corner, the ball came across to junior Haley Hopkins (Springfield, Va.), who then found Annie Snead at the post and swept it down to her for the senior's second goal of the day, fixing the final score at 7-2.
