Women’s Lacrosse hit their third win in a row in the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) on Saturday, April 13, when they defeated Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) Florham, their 10th overall victory of the season thus far.
The Women’s Lacrosse MAC season began against Misericordia University on Saturday, April 6, and also served as the team’s Senior Day. The game started strong in the first quarter, with the Ducks up by seven at 8-1. The running clock kicked in during the second when the Ducks took another seven to be 15-1 at the half. Their lead was furthered when first-year Tory Seaton scored six minutes and 23 seconds into the third, followed by senior Emily Leiby with two minutes and eight seconds left on the clock. The Ducks took another four in the fourth, resulting in a 21-2 win.
The next MAC win came less than a week later when they took on King’s College on Wednesday, April 10. Sophomore Maddie Hogan saw a career-high eight points with five goals and three assists, her first goal just 39 seconds into the game. Meanwhile, graduate student Zoe Cook and sophomore Stefanie Sellitto each took five points of their own, with three goals and two assists. The team’s collective effort would push the clock in the first quarter, which they finished up 14-2. The two goals that King’s managed in the first would be all they could secure, as Stevens upped their own point tally by another 11 in the next three quarters. The day resulted in a 25-2 victory and was the fourth game the Ducks have won against the Monarchs.
Sellitto dropped another six on April 13 during the Ducks’ defeat of FDU-Florham. Out of the team’s collective 35 shots during the match, 20 were successful. Their opponents only took seven out of their 16 attempts. Cook managed a goal in the first and third quarters, two in the second, and two assists in the first and third, marking her 200th career point. Other notable impacts on the teams’ success of the day came from Hogan, with three goals and one assist, and sophomore goalkeepers Felicity Heilferty and Emma Guzowski, who made respective two and four saves throughout the game.
Tomorrow, Saturday, April 20, the Ducks will take on Arcadia University at 1 p.m. on home turf for their fifth MAC match, before they travel to take on the University of Scranton in Scranton, PA, on Sunday, April 21 for a non-conference contest.
