Box Score

            LYNCHBURG, VA - Senior attack Allie Weir (Richmond, VA/James River) scored four times Saturday afternoon in a 12-0 win over Sweet Briar College to break the 33-year-old NCAA Division III career record for goals. Weir has 121 tallies in her four seasons, surpassing the former record of Bates College's Priscilla Wilde in 1976 of 120.

  Allie Weir       Weir started her assault on the record with a penalty stroke at the 6:33 mark, and again scored on a penalty stroke at 23:57 to push LC's lead to 5-0. She tied the record early in the second half, on an assist from Erin Funkhouser (Natural Bridge, VA/Menchville) and tapped in a feed from Johanna Agustin (Virginia Beach, VA/Bayside) at 54:10 to become the NCAA Division III career record holder.

            "It feels good to break the record, I tried to not think about it, but there was a little pressure," Weir said. "After the third goal, I really hoped I'd break it today on Homecoming - and with my parents, my grandma, my aunt and two cousins watching.

            "Now we are looking forward to the next step, more team goals. We'd love to win our fourth-straight Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) title and play in the NCAA tournament again. This is a good experienced team and I think we can go really far."

            Weir also added two assists to her four scores, and now stands just 25 points shy of the Division III career points record of 297, currently held by Danae Chambers (Messiah, 2004). She is currently in second-place in the category, and broke the conference record today as well, a mark formerly held by Sherri Allebach of Eastern Mennonite in 1999.  

Sophomore Jordan Warrington (Ocean View, DE/Indian River) matched Weir's goal total with four, and Funkhouser had two assists. Shelly Milks (Gloucester, VA/Gloucester) posted a goal and an assist, and Kristina Morris (Stafford, VA/Mountain View), Megan Cipolloni (Fort Washington, PA/Germantown) and Deanna Smith (Chester, VA/Thomas Dale) also added goals.

            Sweet Briar's Madeline Wilson had an impressive performance in net, making 33 saves, 23 in the first half. LC out-shot the Vixens (1-8/0-3 ODAC) 71-2 and held a 17-1 edge in penalty corners.

            Lynchburg (9-2/3-0 ODAC) travels to Roanoke College for a 7 p.m. conference game Tuesday.
