WC Shuts Out Swarthmore
Sisco Scores Two Goals

SWARTHMORE, PA -- Junior forward Taneil Sisco (Kent County, MD/Kent County) scored two goals as the Washington College Shorewomen won their sixth consecutive game today, topping host Swarthmore, 3-0, in Centennial Conference action. A win Tuesday against McDaniel in Washington's final regular season game would give the Shorewomen the right to host next weekend's Centennial Conference Playoffs.

Sisco broke a scoreless tie with 17:57 left in the first period when she knocked a loose ball into the cage. Each team got off five shots in the first half.

The Shorewomen controlled possession in the second half, holding Swarthmore without a shot in the period. WC got off ten shots of their own, including Sisco's second goal, with 16:04 to play, and a breakaway goal by junior forward Erin Thomas (Newport News, VA/Denbigh) with 7:15 on the clock.

Junior goalkeeper Zina Hense (Lewes, DE/Cape Henlopen) recorded her fourth shutout of the year and second in as many days, making four saves in the win.

Tuesday's game at McDaniel is slated for a 3:00 p.m. start. The Shorewomen, now 10-6 overall and 7-1 in Centennial play, are currently alone in first place in the conference. McDaniel and Johns Hopkins are each one game back.
