The College of Wooster women’s lacrosse team played a close
first half with NCAA Div. II and host Mercyhurst College on Thursday
afternoon (March 25), but Mercyhurst’s offense exploded for
six of the first seven goals in the second and the Lakers held
off a late Wooster rally to win 8-6.
Wooster, which drops to 2-2 after its first game on the northern
schedule, had led 2-1 at halftime.
Four of Mercyhurst’s scores during the second stanza
came during a seven-minute stretch.
Leading scorer Megan Sward, who totaled 13 points in
the Scots’ three games played in Florida, found the back of
the Laker net twice Thursday, as did Erica Frazier-Young.
Also chipping in goals in the loss were Allison Mione and Mary
Risley.
For Mercyhurst (4-4), Dara Liberati recorded a five-point
game (two goals, three assists) and Andrea Bement put in
three goals for a hat trick.
Nicki Hunt played all 60 minutes in net for Wooster,
making nine saves, while her counterpart, Jessica Bunker tallied
10 saves.
The Scots will look to avoid their first three-game losing
streak since the 2001 season on Saturday (March 27), when they
make their home and North Coast Athletic Conference debuts against
Ohio Wesleyan University (4-0) at 11 a.m. |
