Eagles Soar Over Women's Lax

BRIDGEWATER, Va. - Host Bridgewater College used a nine-goal run early in the first half Thursday afternoon to secure a 19-7 non-league women's lacrosse victory over Shenandoah.

After SU (1-6) opened the game's scoring with a Jennie Ott goal at 26:50, the Eagles (3-5) took a lead they would not relinquish by scoring the game's next nine goals.

Ott snapped this string with an unassisted goal 87 seconds before halftime, and the Hornets scored two more times before heading into the halftime lockerroom, but it was not enough.

Leading 10-4 heading into the second half, Bridgewater iced it by scoring a pair of free position goals in the first three minutes of the second half.

Jessie Kuykendall, who had Shenandoah's final goal of the first half, had two of the team's three second half tallies.

Ott and Kuykendall had three points apiece with Sara Mucciaro adding a goal and an assist.

BC outshot SU 41-21 and had 29 of the game's 56 groundballs.
