WINCHESTER, Va. - Visiting Elizabethtown College sent Shenandoah University down to its fourth straight field hockey defeat with a 6-0 MAC Commonwealth victory over the Hornets Wednesday afternoon on Sprint Field at Shentel Stadium.

The Blue Jays (10-5, 4-1 CC) got all of the offense they would need just 52 seconds in on a Katy Boone goal off of Liz DeMatteis' assist.

DeMatteis scored herself at 14:33 and E-town added 19th, 31st and 35th minutes to take a commanding 5-0 lead by halftime.

Melanie Hartman closed the book on the day's scoring with her unassisted goal in the final minute.

Shenandoah (7-7, 1-4) had its best chance to score midway through the second half when Paola Aguilar missed wide following a rebound of a Katie Johnson shot.

Elizabethtown outshot the Hornets 21-2 and held a 17-1 advantage in penalty corners.

Danielle Lawson had eight saves in the losing effort.

SU travels to Bridgewater tomorrow for a non-league game and to Widener on Saturday for another MAC contest.
