Artman-Led Scots Ease Past W&J 4-1

The College of Wooster and its high-powered offense, led by Amanda Artman, kept rolling Wednesday night, as the Fighting Scots came away from Washington & Jefferson College with a 4-1 win in non-conference field hockey action.

Wooster (7-2), which had the 14th-best scoring average in the most recent NCAA Div. III statistics (3.93 gpg), scored four or more goals for the fourth time in five games. The Scots rattled the cage twice over the first 12:15 of Wednesday's match-up, with Nina Dine taking it herself for an unassisted goal during a penalty corner and then Artman delivering a pass for an Eileen Barrer goal.

It would remain 2-0 until early in the second half when Artman slapped in her first goal, thanks to an assist from Brittany Montgomery. Washington & Jefferson (5-4) converted a penalty corner around the midway point of the half, but Wooster quickly erased any thoughts of a comeback with another Artman goal, this time assisted by Dine on a penalty corner.

Artman is now up to 36 points (14 goals, 8 assists) on the season, while another big part of the Scot win was goalie Madalyn Myers, who posted eight saves.

Next, Wooster has a key North Coast Athletic Conference clash at Kenyon College (5-4, 4-0 NCAC) on Saturday at 11 a.m.
