HARRISONBURG, Va. - On a day where EMU field hockey celebrated its seven seniors, it was Washington and Lee that also did some celebrating. 

The Generals scored a goal less than two minutes into the contest, and added one more each in the the second, third and fourth quarters, to pick up a 4-0 win over EMU. 

Records: EMU 4-14, 1-8 ODAC | Washington and Lee 10-6, 7-2 ODAC

Highlights

• 2' - W&L got on the board early as Kate Ruffin took a pass from Betty Boatwright and put it past Gracyn Arruda, for a 1-0 W&L lead. The Royals were able to pick up a shot less than a minute later off a penalty corner, when Rileyanne Collins struck a good ball, but it was saved by the Generals keeper. Arruda added two saves in the quarter as Washington and Lee led 1-0 after one. 
• Arruda picked up three more saves in the second, along with a Cassidy Armstrong defensive save, but W&L was able to add another goal in the second to take a 2-0 lead into the half. 
• The Generals added two more goals in the second half for the 4-0 final score. Arruda made some great saves in the second half, picking up nine before the final whistle. But EMU's offense wasn't able to get anything on the board as they fell in their season finale.
