Box Score After trading wins and losses for a month, the Lady Royals broke their streak Saturday. Fortunately, they broke it the right way - by winning two games in a row - and they did it in a big way, dominating Emory & Henry 6-0 in Harrisonburg. The win also gives EMU its first winning streak of the season.

Aside from a 4-1 win over Susquehanna on Sept. 12, the most EMU had scored in a game was twice. In the win over Emory & Henry, the women scored twice by the 31st minute.

Meghan Lutz (Mt. Jackson, Va./Stonewall Jackson) got the ball rolling just 1:36 into the game as she took a cross from Christa Beckler (Mechanicsville, Va./Atlee) and stuck it past the Wasps' keeper.

Eastern Mennonite continued to control play and finally scored again at 30:31. Mary Dunn (Dalton, Oh./Central Christian) drove to the goal line and lofted a cross which Jess Myers (Harrisonburg, Va./Eastern Mennonite) banged home. Nine minutes later, Lutz scored again on a direct kick from just outside the box to make it 3-0.

With the impressive first half, the Lady Royals quickly re-established their momentum in the second. At 50:44, Myers dribbled right up the middle of the Emory & Henry defense and found a wide open Beckler on the left side for an easy goal.

Seven minutes later, EMU was at it again as Taylor Sayre (Waynesboro, Va./Waynesboro) popped a shot over the keeper's head to make it 5-0. Within seconds, the women scored again, as Beckler charged the Wasps' keeper as she was trying to clear a pass. Beckler deflected the kick and it bounced right back into the goal.

Emory & Henry picked up their intensity late in the game, but the Lady Royals defense held up and preserved the shutout.

EMU outshot the Wasps 18-13, including 10-6 in shots on goal. Abby Diffenbach (Lancaster, Pa./Lancaster Mennonite) made a few nice stops and finished with six saves.

The win evens the women's record at 5-5 overall and at 2-2 in ODAC play. EMU hosts conference-leading Washington & Lee on Wednesday, Oct. 7.
