LOGGERS BLAST BOXERS, 19-4
TACOMA, Wash. - Led by six goals from junior Lindsay O'Brien (Reading, Vt./Westminster) and five more from junior Jessica Knight (Portland, Ore./Grant), the Puget Sound Loggers made easy work of the Pacific Boxers, 21-4, in a NCAA Division III women's lacrosse match on Sunday afternoon at Peyton Field in Tacoma, Wash.
The Loggers (1-1) opened play by scoring the first eight goals of the match to take a commanding lead early. Pacific (0-1) finally got on the board with 6:59 remaining in the first half but the Loggers scored four more goals to push the lead to 12-1 heading into halftime.
In the second half, the Loggers scored just over two goals for every Pacific goal as Puget Sound picked up their first victory of the season.
Besides the six from O'Brien and five from Knight, the Loggers also had three goals from freshman Sofia Lama (Laguna Niguel, Calif./Torrey Pines) and two from sophomore Elizabeth Butt (Eugene, Ore./Sheldon). Freshman goalie Ana Calciano (Farmington, Conn./Miss Porter's School) made 11 saves to collect her first collegiate victory.
Pacific was led by two goals from Johannah Wong. Lori Hanken also netted a score for Pacific, as did Molly Bailey. Boxer goalkeeper Valerie Nelson made 18 saves, including 14 in the first half.
The Loggers will next take the field on Saturday when they play host to Fontbonne, beginning a 1:00 p.m. on Peyton Field in Tacoma.
