Washington, D.C. - Jordy Kirr (Baltimore, Md./Bryn Mawr Academy) earned her third nod to the BIG EAST Honor Roll Monday after a solid game at Louisville earlier in the week. The Hoyas will face conference-foe No. 14/16 Loyola (Md.) on Wednesday at Diane Geppi-Aikens Field in their final game of the season against a ranked opponent. Georgetown is 10-3 overall and a perfect 5-0 in BIG EAST play.
Kirr had four goals and one assist for five points in the 15-11 victory over Louisville on Saturday. The sophomore attacker also had four ground balls and one caused turnover. Two of her goals came off of free position shots.
Georgetown will face Loyola on Wednesday marking the ninth meeting between the squads. GU is 4-4 against the Greyhounds all-time but has won the last four meetings. Last season, the Hoyas won, 16-9, at Multi-Sport Field. In that game, Ashby Kaestner (Trappe, Md./Saints Peter and Paul) had five goals and one assist, Molly Ford (Reisterstown, Md./Notre Dame Prep) scored four goals with three assists and Kirr added two goals with a team-best four helpers.
The Greyhounds are 9-4 overall and 2-3 in the BIG EAST ranking fifth in conference play.
