GA Sports: Field Hockey Routs Baldwin, 8-0

Katie Westrum leads with three goals.

The Germantown Academy field hockey team (3-5-1, 1-2) earned their first Inter-Ac win of the year Thursday, routing the Baldwin School 8-0 on the road.

The Lady Patriots were led by sophomore forward Katie Westrum's three goals. Allie Carrigan and Catherine Perlmutter each scored a pair, while Morgan Itterly chipped in one.

Goalie Ashley Piszek returned to her dominance in net behind a strong defense, stopping the three shots that came her way. Germantown Academy had allowed more goals (15) in their last two losses against Notre Dame and Cardinal O'Hara than they did in their first six games (14).

GA outshot Baldwin 33-3 in Thursday's contest.

The Lady Patriots next take to the field for a home matchup with Episcopal Academy on Friday at 3:30 pm.
