Fairfax, Va. - Brittany Baschuk (Chevy Chase, Md./Stone Ridge) scored a career-high five goals and senior Coco Stanwick (Baltimore, Md./Note Dame Prep) also tallied five goals and matched a season-high with seven draw controls as the No. 9 Georgetown University women's lacrosse team posted a 12-6 win at George Mason Stadium on Wednesday. Georgetown improves to 4-2 on the season. The Hoyas have now won all nine meetings over the Patriots. Georgetown outshot the Patriots 21-12 in the first half and took a 6-2 lead at halftime. Bashuk scored unassisted for the game's first goal 24:14. Just over two minutes later, Stanwick got in the scoring column at 21:32 after Ashby Kaestner (Trappe, Md./Saints Peter and Paul) scooped up a ground ball in the middle of the field. Kaestner found a streaking Stanwick who raced upfield for her second marker of the contest. Stanwick made it 3-0 in favor of the Hoyas at 18:08 on a pretty spin move near the left side of the cage. Mason (3-3) freshman Megan Udovich scored on free position at 15:50 to cut the Hoya lead to 3-1 but Georgetown then scored three straight goals for a 6-1 advantage. Baschuk scored her second goal of the game at 14:34 on an assist from Zan Morley (Philadelphia, Pa./Springside). Morley slipped the assist through traffic across the eight-meter area to put the Hoyas ahead 4-1. Jordan Trautman (Mystic, Conn./Loomis Chaffee) picked up a loose ball in the middle of the field and led a fast break. A short pass to Stanwick led to an even shorter pass to Baschuk who netted her third goal of the game
Stanwick scored her third goal of the half, an unassisted tally, on another spin move from the left side of the net at 7:37 for a 6-1 GU lead. Mason's Kelly Davis scored unassisted with just 1:23 left to go to cut the Hoyas' lead to 6-2. Georgetown goalkeeper Maggie Koch (Philadelphia, Pa./Springside) had six saves in the first half with the majority of the Mason shots coming from within the eight meter area. Koch finished with ten saves on the evening Hoya freshman Molly Ford (Reistertown, Md./Notre Dame Prep) scored her first collegiate goal at 20:37 of the second half. Ford ended a long Hoya possession wrapping around the left side of the net and beating the goalkeeper near post. Davis scored her second goal of the evening at 19:55 of the second half to make the score 7-2 in favor of the Hoyas. Stanwick increased the GU lead to 8-3 at 19-04 after Morley picked up a loose ball in the Georgetown offensive end. Bashuk matched her career-high with her fourth goal scoring unassisted at 16:39 as Georgetown made it 9-3. Senior Schuyler Sutton (Annapolis, Md./Severn School) wrapped around the goal with a nifty move to score unassisted at 15:45 for a 10-3 lead. Davis finished with five goals for Mason. Sophomore Megan Bloomer (Paoli, Pa./Conestoga) made her first career start. The Hoyas return to BIG EAST action on Saturday, March 24 when GU travels to Piscataway, N.J. to take on the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers at 1 p.m. |
