Box Score

Freshman Becky Randel (Columbia, Md./Long Reach) put the Bobcats (2-3) on the board early in the first half driving the ball to the back of the cage on a pass from senior Lindsey Frost (Columbia, Md./Hammond) from the top of the circle. Russell netted her first goal of the game at the 25:24 mark with a drive down the sidleline. She manuvered in front of the cage to score from the top of the circle and give FSU the 2-0 lead going into halftime.

Goucher (1-2) answered less than 10 minutes into the second half when Angela Buxton scored from Catherine Armao and brought the Gophers to within one, 2-1.

Russell sealed the game for the Bobcats with less that seven minutes left to play. She took a long pass from sophomore Rachel Merritt (Pasadena, Md./Chesapeake) and found the back of the goal which gave FSU the 3-1 victory.
