LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven University field hockey team (7-1) cruised to a 4-1 victory over the visiting Georgetown Hoyas (3-3) today in non-conference play.
 
Rachel Valentine (Souderton, Pa./Souderton) led the way with a pair of goals.
 
Valentine scored her sixth goal of the season 7:07 into the first half, putting home a crossing-pass from Tamia Roach (Petit Valley, Trinidad and Tobago/St. Joseph's Convent Port-of-Spain). 
 
The two would team up once again just forty-eight seconds later as Valentine directed a Roach pass to the far post and behind Hoyas' goalkeeper Rachel Skonecki. The goal was Valentine's team-leading seventh of the season.
 
Georgetown cut the lead in half at the 15:23 mark, as Megan Parsons redirected Devin Holmes' pass to the far post for her first goal of the 2015 season.
 
LHU controlled the second half, adding two more goals. 
 
Less than six minutes into the second half, Noelle Kephart (Lititz, Pa./Warwick) worked her way past the defense and slapped home her first of the year. 
 
Lydia George (Carlisle, Pa./Big Spring) capped off the scoring, dribbling down the far side and sneaking a shot past the goalkeeper with 20-plus minutes remaining in the contest.
 
Maddie Wagenfeld (Ambler, Pa./Hatboro-Horsham) backstopped the Bald Eagles' win with three saves for her second win of the season.
 
LHU now travels to Philadelphia for a pair of Atlantic 10 Conference (A-10) games. Lock Haven will play at Saint Joseph's on Wednesday, September 23 at 4 p.m. and heads to La Salle for a Friday (September 25) game at 3p.m.
