ASHLAND, Va. (BC Athletics) — The Bridgewater College field hockey team had its season come to an end on Tuesday as they lost at Randolph-Macon, 2-0, in the quarterfinals of the ODAC Tournament. The Eagles finish with a 9-10 record.

How It Happened
• The Eagles controlled the possession early and Resse Davis fired a shot on target in the opening 30 seconds of the match that was turned aside. BC kept pushing, but did not rifle a shot on their next three chances despite the efforts of Lexi Francis, Kylie Parker and Davis. RMC flipped the field midway through the stanza. Adle turned away the first shot she faced and the Yellow Jackets fired two more wide. Adel was tested again with less than five minutes to go in the period, but she stood tall again with another save. RMC pushed again two minutes later and Adel turned two shots away, including one while leaping into the air even with the cross bar to keep the game scoreless after the opening period.
• RMC had the first chance of the second quarter, but the Eagles’ defense redirected it on its way. Adel made another stop four minutes into the frame, but the Yellow Jackets kept pushing. RMC earned another penalty corner and Adel made a pair of saves to keep the game scoreless. The Yellow Jackets stopped a BC run, and turned it into two more penalty corners. Adel made a pair of stops on the chances, including a diving stop to keep it tied. BC flipped the field and had a run of their own, but did not muster a shot with under three minutes to play in the half. RMC countered as Adel turned away a backhanded shot with two minutes to play. RMC had another opportunity in the final 30 seconds, but the offering went wide of the cage, keeping the game scoreless at the break.
• Bridgewater opened with an early chance, but did not earn a shot. RMC flipped the field and earned a penalty corner in the opening three minutes of the half, but the BC defense stood tall. The Eagles had their best chance of the frame halfway through the period. Francis made a run and had a wide open Parker at the back post, but just missed the connection as it went wide of the cage and out of play. The teams jockeyed for possession with RMC handling most of it. The Yellow Jackets earned a penalty corner with under five minutes to play and the BC defense cleared it quickly to keep the game scoreless heading to the fourth.
• RMC opened with the first chance of the fourth with a shot that sailed wide. BC had a chance of their own three minutes into the frame, but a shot from Natalie Stock was poked away. RMC earned a penalty corner a moment later, but Mollie Best foiled the shot with a block at the top of the scoring area. The Yellow Jackets earned another and again the BC defense stood tall. Halfway through the frame Parker attempted to fire a shot, but it was deflected. She sent another ball in 30 seconds later, but it met the same fate. RMC cashed in with 6:38 to go in regulation as the Yellow Jackets sent a ball in from outside the scoring area and it was deflected by Greene and into the back of the net to take a 1-0 lead. BC looked to strike back instantly, but Parker and Stock each had offerings poked away. RMC added to the lead with four minutes to play as Dresler found the back of the net to make it 2-0 late. BC kept pushing and had multiple late chances, but could not fire a shot.
