An evenly matched first half saw Washington U. outshoot Principia, 6-4, as WU took a 1-0 lead heading into intermission.         As Washington U. did in its loss at University of Missouri-Rolla on Oct. 1, the Bears had a lapse early in the second half that resulted in a goal. Erwin Carey's shot from 30 yards went over senior goalkeeper Amanda Boe's, Aurora, Ill. (Waubonsie Valley) outstretched arms to even the score at 1-1.         The Bears answered back seven minutes later at 69:45 to take the lead for good. Junior Elyse Hanly, Westborough, Mass. (Westborough) took a pass from junior Becca Heymman, Winchester, Mass. (Buckingham Browne & Nichols) and blasted a left-footed shot from 15 yards out to the far corner for her third goal of the season.         A clever move by Heymann resulted in the third goal of the game in the 77th minute. After Principia committed a foul 30 yards out, junior Libby Held Potomac, Md. (Winston Churchill) went to the sidelines to get instructions from head coach Jim Conlon. In the meantime, Heymann recognized Stein was setting up the wall so she blasted a shot to an open net to push the lead to 3-1.         Boe made six saves in the victory for the Bears, there sixth win in the last seven games. Principia outshot Washington U., 12-11, and the Bears had a 2-1 advantage in corner kicks.         Washington University (8-2-1, 1-0 UAA) steps back into University Athletic Association (UAA) play against No. 9 ranked Emory University on Sunday, Oct. 12, at 11 a.m. --------------------------------- Christopher Mitchell Director, Sports Information Washington University in St. Louis (314) 935-5077 (Office) (618) 560-9280 (Cell) (314) 935-4600 (Fax) mitchell@wustl.edu (Email) http://bearsports.wustl.edu
