How it Happened
- RMC survived a Marlins penalty corner early in the first and just a few minutes later, cashed in on their first one of the night, as Isabella McNulty (Midlothian, Va./Midlothian) took a dish from Anna Stribling (Annandale, Va./W.T. Woodson) to put the Yellow Jackets up one.
- RMC continued the pressure they had generated in the first frame and used it early in the second. Emma Landis extended the RMC with a pair of goals in two minutes to make the score 3-0 in Randolph-Macon's favor.
- VWU turned up some pressure in the third quarter, totaling four penalty corners and six shots but couldn't generate a goal as Valentina Ambrogi-Torres (Richmond, Va./Trinity Episcopal School) made five saves to keep the shutout going.
- Both teams generated chances in the fourth quarter but neither team scored, giving RMC a 3-0 win.
Inside the Numbers
- Emma Landis' two goal game is the second such game of her career and first since a 2022 win over Meredith. Landis now has three goals on the season.
- Isabella McNulty now ties for second on the team with five goals this season.
- Anna Stribling's assist gives her seven on the year. She now has seven points in her last five games.
- Mackenzie Wunderlich (Midlothian, Va./Trinity Episcopal) notches the first point of her season with an assist on Landis' second goal.
For the Record
- With the 10th win on the year, it ties the most wins in a season under head coach Jess Weiss, matching the 2019 season where the Yellow Jackets went 10-9.
