TWELVE SAINTS SCORE IN 20-2 VICTORY OVER WELLS

Apr. 1: The first-year class accounted for more than half of St. Lawrence’s 20 goals as the Saints women’s lacrosse team defeated Wells College 20-2 in non-conference action Tuesday afternoon on North Country Field.

The Scarlet and Brown improve to 6-2 overall with the win, while the Express fall 2-3 in their 2008 season.

“It was really good to get a lot of first-year players key playing time for future development,” Saints’ head coach Jodi Canfield said following the contest. “We were able to run a lot of different plays and really work on our execution, and were able to maintain really good long possessions before taking shots.”

Senior co-captain Alanna Waters (Darien, CT/Taft) led the Saints offensively in total points with six (one goal, five assists), while first-year Kim Morse (Peaks Island, ME/Yarmouth Academy) had a game-high three goals in the contest.

First-years Bianca Chevallard (Miami, FL/ St. George’s), Eileen Carroll (Pennington, NJ/Hopewell Valley), and Kim Cooper (Wolfeboro, NH/Brewster Academy) each earned their first two collegiate goals, while sophomore Meggie Quackenbush (Canton, NY/Hugh C. Williams) had her first goal of her St. Lawrence career.

Also grabbing two goals a piece were sophomores Mary Jane Sweetland (Hopewell, NJ/Stuart Country Day), Julie Wooters (New Canaan, CT/New Canaan), and Lexi Wisnowski (Middlebury, VT/Middlebury Union), while classmate Katrina Knickerbocker (Clinton Corners, NY/The Gunnery) also had one.

Junior Amanda Forbes (Glens Falls, NY/ Glens Falls), first-year Kaitlyn Fahsel (Watertown, NY/South Jefferson) also had a goal in the contest.

On the defensive side of the ball, first-year Kelsey Redpath ( Norwich, VT/ Hanover) had four groundballs, while sophomore Anna Parrott (Concord, MA/Holderness) picked up three and had one of four cause turnovers for St. Lawrence.

Wisnowski was key on both ends of the field, winning six of 17 draws for the Scarlet and Brown, while Forbes won three and Redpath, Fahsel and Chevellard each had two draw wins.

St. Lawrence will host conference opponent Hamilton College on Friday afternoon at North Country Field, with the contest scheduled to begin at 4:00pm.
