WILLIAMSBURG, VA - William and Mary scored one goal in each half and used a strong defensive presence throughout all 90 minutes to record a 2-0 exhibition win over Virginia Rush Nike this evening at Busch Field.

The College dominated the match statistically, outshooting its opponent 14-0 and holding a 13-0 edge in corner kicks as every available player saw action. W&M scored its first goal in the 25th minute when Katie Hogwood (Reston, VA) raced down the left flank and served a pass to junior forward Lydia Sturgis (Jacksonville, FL), who flipped it past goalkeeper Brett Alston for the opening score.

Hogwood pushed the lead to 2-0 14 minutes into the second stanza. After two Tribe shots were rejected by Alston, Hogwood gathered the second rebound and pushed it into the net to widen the Tribe’s lead to 2-0, which would be the final score.

The Tribe is back in action Saturday afternoon at 2:00 when it play its annual alumnae game, the final tuneup before the regular-season opener, which is Friday, August 27 at 7:00 p.m. when the College will christen Albert-Daly Field with a match against Loyola (MD).
