Lexington, Va. - The Washington & Lee University field hockey team notched two goals in the second half to break a 1-1 halftime tie and post a 3-1 victory over St. Mary's College of Maryland in non-conference action Sunday afternoon.

Junior forward Sallie Armstrong (Houston, Texas/St. John's) started the scoring for the Generals (2-5) just 2:17 into the game as Armstrong took a feed from senior forward Christina Merchant (Midlothian, Va./Collegiate).

St. Mary's (4-5) responded just before the end of the first half as senior forward Emily Norris (Timonium, Md./Dulaney) tapped in her third goal of the season at 32:04.

Armstrong struck again at 38:30 as she completed a pass from sophomore midfielder Emily Mathews (Baltimore, Md./Bryn Mawr) to give W&L a 2-1 advantage.

Senior defender Liz Garson (Richmond, Va./Collegiate) recorded her first goal of 2008 at 52:23 off an assist by junior defender Grace McGee (Virginia Beach, Va./Floyd E. Kellam) to seal the General win.

Junior Caroline Habliston (Alexandria, Va./St. Stephen's & St. Agnes) needed to make just one save as the W&L defense held the Seahawks to just four shots.

Sophomore Emma Lauhoff (Wayne, Pa./Radnor) picked up seven stops in the SMCM loss as the Generals fired off 24 shots with 10 being on cage.

The Seahawks hope to get back in the win column when St. Mary's travels to Washington, D.C. to take on Catholic University at 4:30 in non-conference action.
