GAMBIER, Ohio – Kenyon College junior Weezie Foster recorded a hat trick while leading the way for the Ladies field hockey team in Saturday afternoon's 4-1 victory over The College of Wooster. The win gave Kenyon a third straight victory, as well as a season sweep of the Fighting Scots.

Foster started the scoring on a penalty stroke in the game's tenth minute, beating Wooster's goalkeeper Lida Levine on a shot to the top right corner of the cage.

The Ladies' penalty corner unit was responsible for the team's other three goals. Katelyn Hutchinson scored the game's second goal off a penalty corner to give the Ladies a 2-0 advantage. She collected a pass at the top of arc, worked her way around a Wooster defender and got free to unleash an uncontested shot.

In the second half, Foster scored her eighth and ninth goals of the season off passes from Hutchinson and Shannon Hart. During a penalty corner, Foster passed to Hutchinson and moved toward the cage. Hutchinson got the ball right back to Foster and she converted the shot from the left side. Foster's work on the next goal was similar, but this time Hart, who was at the top of the arc, fed Foster on the left side again.   

Foster, Hutchinson and Hart combined to take 21 of Kenyon's 25 shots.

The College of Wooster (5-8, 3-5 NCAC) scored in the game's 23rd minute, 2:07 after the Hutchinson goal, to bring the deficit down to 2-1. Rose Taylor scored off of a redirected shot that resulted from a penalty corner. The Fighting Scots kept the deficit at one until halftime, but could not find the cage in the second half and Kenyon pulled away.

Kenyon goalkeeper Sarah Speroff recorded eight saves, including a diving save during a Wooster penalty stroke attempt from Rachel Wetzel.

At the other end of the field, Levine had nine saves in defeat.

The Ladies (9-4, 7-2 NCAC) will next faceoff next with Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio on Saturday, October 15. The game is scheduled for a noon start.
