LEXINGTON, Va.- On Saturday afternoon, the Colonels continued with their road series, traveling north to face Washington & Lee (W&L). An early goal from the Generals set Centre back early, ultimately bringing the final score to W&L one, Centre zero.

- Out of halftime, the Generals continued their domination, attempting 19 shots while the Colonels took their first of two. The first Centre attempt came from Meghan Speth during a penalty corner in the third while their second came from Claire Martin in a fourth-quarter corner opportunity. With a scoreless second half, the game's final score remained at W&L one, Centre zero.
