Box Score GAMBIER, Ohio – The Kenyon College field hockey team continued its offensive onslaught Wednesday evening at McBride Field. The Ladies, who now have 25 goals in their last five games, battered the visiting Wittenberg University Tigers to the tune of a 6-1 triumph.

With the win, Kenyon upped its season-long average to 3.71 goals per game and improved its record to 9-5 overall and 7-3 in North Coast Athletic Conference games. At the other end of the field, the loss dropped Wittenberg to 6-10 overall and 4-7 in NCAC action.

Senior midfielder Alex Bair paced the Ladies' attack with a pair of second-half goals, which were scored within five minutes of each other. Bair's first goal was aided by a flubbed defensive save opportunity for the Tigers and her second goal scooted right past Wittenberg goalkeeper Laura Jansing, who began the second half in relief of starter Sarah Brownell, but was replaced after allowing both Bair goals.

By that point, Kenyon's cushion was at 6-0 and allowed head coach Jacque DeMarco to empty her bench and give her reserves some valuable playing time.

Back in the first half, Kenyon first lit the scoreboard when a Wittenberg defender misplayed a ball in the center of the shooting circle. Kenyon sophomore Christine Bloom was there to clean up the mess, while tallying her sixth goal of the season.

Two minutes after Bloom's goal, Julie Freedman fired a shot off Brownell's pads. The rebound came right back to Freedman, who then directed her second shot around Brownell and into the cage. Before the half expired, junior Rachel Hall joined the Kenyon scoring ledger. She slid by one defender, went around Brownell, and placed her team-leading 15th goal of the season into the left side of the Tigers' cage.

Kenyon's other goal occurred just 1:16 into the second half. Sophomore Maddie Breschi scored it with a shot right through the middle of the Wittenberg defense. That was her tenth of the season and her fourth consecutive game with a least one goal.

Kenyon goalkeeper Sydney Carney-Knisely wasn't tested all that often, but when she was she came through with four saves and 59 minutes of scoreless playing time. She was relieved by Claire O'Donnell-McCarthy, who ended up playing the end of the contest and gave up the lone Wittenberg goal on a long, wild shot that deflected off a Kenyon defender.

Next up for the Ladies is a Sunday conference contest at Ohio Wesleyan University. Earlier this season, Kenyon defeated Ohio Wesleyan 2-0 at McBride Field.
