CARLISLE, Pa. – Despite scoring 10 goals, the Susquehanna
women's lacrosse team could not prevent Dickinson from
scoring double-digit goals itself as the Red Devils handed SU a
19-10 loss Wednesday afternoon.
The Crusaders (0-2), playing the second of four-straight road
games, were out-shot by a 50-19 margin and committed 27 turnovers
to Dickinson's 11.
SU goalie Emily Stankaitis (Honeoye Falls, N.Y./Honeoye
Falls-Lima) played all but 2:57 minutes of the game and
recorded 19 saves.
Lindsey Derstine (Coopersburg, Pa./Southern
Lehigh) accounted for nearly half of the Crusaders goals,
finding the back of the net four times. Ally Bauer
(Kinnelon, N.J./Kinnelon) had a three-point outing with
two goals and an assist. Sarah Wright (Princeton,
N.J./Princeton HS), Phoebe Nicholls (Princeton,
N.J./Rutgers Prep), Michelle McGinniss (Randolph,
N.J./Randolph) and Kirsten Detwiler (Montchanin,
Del./Wilmington Friends) accounted for the remaining SU
goals.
Dickinson (2-1) jumped out to the early, 1-0 lead with a goal
less than 40 seconds into the action, but SU quickly made it a tie
game on a Derstine goal with 27:31 on the
clock.
The Red Devils responded with three unanswered goals to take a
4-1 edge midway through the opening half. But that momentum did not
last long as SU put together back-to-back goals from
Nicholls and Derstine to again
make it a one-goal game with less than 10 minutes to play in the
half.
The teams traded goals as Dickinson maintained a 5-4 lead before
McGinniss netted her first goal of the season to
knot the game at five inside the five-minute mark.
The game appeared to be heading into halftime still tied at
five, but the Red Devils rallied to score two goals over the final
1:50 minutes of the period to take a 7-5 advantage at the midway
point of the game.
Dickinson opened the second half with three goals in a span of
four minutes, with two of them coming from Lauren Jonas, who
finished the afternoon with three goals.
Bauer snapped that streak with a goal at the
23-minute mark to make it 10-6 but the Red Devils put together
another 3-0 stretch that made it 13-6 with 15:39 to play.
Trailing 18-8, the Crusaders scored two goals over the final 42
seconds to end the game on a high note, despite the 19-10
outcome.

S.C.)
