WASHINGTON, D.C. – Kate Robinson finished
with seven points on four goals and three assists to lead Catholic
to a 18-13 victory over McDaniel in non-conference women's
lacrosse action on Thursday.
The Cardinals (3-2), behind two goals and an assist from Robinson
and three of Mary Swarthout's five goals,
used a 8-1 run over a 21-minute, 18-second span to turn a 4-3
deficit into an 11-5 lead with 23:04 to play.
Brittany Baer (Westminster, Md./Westminster)
matched her career high with eight points with six goals and two
assists for the Green Terror (3-2), who played its third game in
the last six games.
Trailing 4-3 when Baer found Jennifer Stone (Baltimore,
Md./Loch Raven) with 16:15 showing in the first half,
Swarthout connected for three straight goals over a 56-second span
to give the hosts a 6-4 lead.
Kelly Scheler (Forest Hill, Md./C. Milton Wright)
momentarily halted the burst, converting Baer's second assist
with 12:47 to play in the opening period.
Laura Haring and Sarah Lindell
stretched the lead to 8-5 at the intermission before two Robinson
tallies and a Katie Buonpastore marker pushed the
lead to 11-6.
Scheler finished a solo run with 20:38 on the clock and
Stephanie Serbun (Abington, Pa./Abington)
free-position goal pulled McDaniel within 11-7 with 20:02 to
play.
Consecutive goals from Swarthout and Katie Miller
stretched the Catholic lead back to 16-9 before the two teams
traded goals until Scheler completed her hat trick and Baer each
scored in the final 1:56 of the game.
Baer tallied the first two of her goals over an opening 10 minutes
that saw the teams trade goals.
Baer added four ground balls, four draw controls and a caused
turnover while Stephanie Sudbrook (Baltimore, Md./Loch
Raven) recorded six ground balls, four caused turnovers
and two draw controls.
Both teams recorded 38 shots while the Cardinals held the advantage
in ground balls (30-22) and draw controls (22-7).
