BRIDGEWATER, Va. - Host Bridgewater College sent Shenandoah University down to its fifth straight field hockey defeat Thursday afternoon with a 4-3 non-league win on Mapp Field.

Shenandoah (7-8) opened the scoring in the 11th minute on a Casey Hertel goal off of Paola Aguilar's assist, but the Eagles had an answer.

Bridgewater (8-8) tied in at 22:55 and then took a lead it would not relinquish six minutes later when Brianna Jacques tallied unassisted.

Jacques' goal was the middle tally in a three-goal run for BC that saw the Eagles take a 3-1 lead just over five minutes into the second half.

Sophomore Megan Garrett cut that deficit in half with her goal at 47:37, but Bridgewater answered again at 55:05 to maintain a two-goal advantage.

The hosts turned out to need that insurance goal as Aguilar scored her eighth goal of the season with two seconds remaining.

Aguilar has now set school records this fall for goals, assists and points in a season.

Danielle Lawson made five saves on 17 shots. BC outshot SU 17-12 and held an 11-7 advantage in penalty corners.

Shenandoah is back in action Saturday in a MAC Commonwealth game at Widener.
