Ohio Wesleyan 3, Hendrix 1


Sept. 2, 2007

[ Shannon McHenry ]Junior midfielder Shannon McHenry (Powell/Rancho Buena Vista (Calif.)) and freshman attacker Christa Cocumelli (Dublin/Bishop Watterson) each contributed a goal and an assist to start Ohio Wesleyan on its way to a non-conference win over Hendrix on Sunday at Selby Field.

McHenry put the Bishops on the scoreboard just over 6 minutes into the game, taking a centering pass from Cocumelli and putting it into the back of the Warrior cage.

McHenry returned the favor 6 minutes later, sending a pass to Cocumelli, who finished the chance for a 2-0 Ohio Wesleyan lead.

Hendrix closed to within 2-1 with 14:15 left in the first half as Heather Newell fired a shot at the Bishop cage. Senior goalkeeper Katie Jones (Pine Plains, N.Y./Stissing Mountain) was there for the save, but Hendrix's Taylor LaFortune pounced on the rebound and knocked it into the cage for the score.

Ohio Wesleyan got that goal back midway through the second half when freshman attacker Lilly Jianas (Shawnee Mission, Kan./Pembroke Hill) tucked an offensive rebound back into the Hendrix cage.

Hendrix outshot Ohio Wesleyan, 13-11. Jones finished with 7 saves for Ohio Wesleyan, while Warrior keeper Alyssa Havens was credited with 4 saves.
