Women Tie School Record in Thrashing of Tennessee Temple

The Stormy Petrels also topped Fisk College by the same score on September 30, 2004. Oglethorpe scored early and often against an overmatched young Crusader team to cruise to the victory.
 
For the afternoon both Shannon Dougherty and Ryanne Arola recorded hat tricks with three goals apiece. Lexi Vassell dished three assists and scored a goal of her own while freshman Courtney Phillips recorded two assists. Mary Beth Horton posted five points on the evening with two goals and an assist and Hannah Parker came off the bench to score the first two goals of her career in the blowout win.
 
The Petrels outshot the Crusaders 42-2 in the landslide victory and managed to lift their record to an unblemished 3-0 mark on the season. The competition will stiffen dramatically, however, as Oglethorpe braces to host Emory University on Salamone Field next Wednesday at 3:00 p.m.
