Women's Lacrosse Squeezes Lynchburg

Marywood delivers Lynchburg its second loss of the season

Scranton, Pa. — Marywood University won its fourth consecutive game by upending visiting Lynchburg University 8-6 on Thursday in non-conference women's lacrosse action. The Pacers even their record at 5-5 overall. 

Avery Meighan led the Pacers with two goals and three assists for five points. She added six draw controls, three ground balls and two caused turnovers. 

Both Kaitlyn Smith and Natalie Yilanjian finished with hat tricks. Smith added three ground balls. 

Defensively, Maggie Young caused a pair of turnovers. 

Haley Abraham came through on the defensive side of the field with seven ground balls. 

In net, Jenna Scala made eight saves for the win. Her counterpart Olivia Owings had a dozen stops. 

The game was back-and-forth until the fourth quarter. Smith opened with an unassisted goal less than four minutes into regulation. After the Hornets' Sydney Dumas evened the score on a woman-up goal, Marywood had its largest first-half lead with back-to-back goals by Meighan and Smith. 

Lynchburg quickly posted a pair of goals from Emmy Clay and Dumas to tie it up at 3-3 less than 90 seconds later. Smith ripped a goal in the quarter's final second. 

The Pacers and Hornets played over 13 minutes of scoreless lacrosse. McKenna Steinau scored the lone second quarter goal, evening the score at 4-4 at halftime. 

Marywood came out of the break with a Yilanjian goal in the opening 28 seconds. Following Neely Morris' woman-up goal to square it back at 5-5, Marywood scored three unanswered goals to shelve the Hornets. Yilanjian scored again from Meighan for a 7-6 lead at the third quarter's close. 

In the fourth, Marywood used a Meighan goal and a woman-down Yilanjian tally for a three-goal lead with nine minutes remaining. 

With 4:40 remaining, Scala made an outstanding save when Lily Messineo fired a point-blank one-timer that was stopped by the netminder.

Marywood tries for its fifth straight on Saturday at noon. The Pacers take on Wilson College for Senior Day.
