SELINSGROVE, PA - Susquehanna women's lacrosse senior Liv Owen scored led the team with five goals and three assists Wednesdayv against Goucher, with her third goal marking the 100th of her career to help celebrate her birthday and a rousing 13-2 Landmark win over the Gophers. The victory puts Susquehanna at 4-3 in the Landmark and 7-8 overall, putting them in good position to lock up a Landmark Tournament spot with two games to play. 

Owen got the scoring started on a free position just a few minutes in, though Goucher returned the favor just moments later to make the score 1-1 with 10:34 to go in the first. Several minutes pass by before Owen again scored to put her at 99 goals lifetime and a 2-1 SU lead. Nicolette Genovese helped put some distance between the two with a free position shot to end the first quarter ahead 3-1. This stirred a six-goal explosion for the River Hawks in the second, started by Sloane Coddington, then Jessica Russo on a free-position, one-up goal. Genovese and Allie Kutler got the next two scores, both assisted by Owen, before the moment of truth as Owen made it 100 career goals on a feed from Kutler with just over one minute left in the half. The first-half scoring subsided after Sophia Trively netted one with 16 seconds left on the first-half clock, again assisted by Owen, for a 9-1 halftime lead. Coddington and Owen quickly notched another score to start the second half and a ten-goal running clock. The River Hawks offered two more goals on the afternoon, the first from Jessica Russo in the third quarter and the last of Owen's five goals in the fourth. 

Goalie Aerin O'Brien presided in net for all 60 minutes, earning five saves and turning away one free position shot. She moved into third all-time with 21 career wins. Susquehanna outshot Goucher, 41-12 and 23-5 in shots on goal. The River Hawks also forced the Gophers into just 9-of-19 on their clear attempts, as well as causing 20 of the team's 31 turnovers. The orange and maroon also succeeded on 4-of-5 free positions. Coddington and Kutler each had three draw controls as the team had seven on the afternoon, with Makaela Larkin getting the remaining DC. 

The River Hawks stand in fifth place in the Landmark standings as of Wednesday night, enough to put them in the Landmark Tournament. To stay there they will need two more good games to close out the regular season, starting at first-place Scranton next Wednesday, April 23 at 6 p.m. and home against Elizabethtown next Saturday, April 26 at 1 p.m. on Senior Day. E-Town is sixth place with a 3-3 league mark as of Wednesday, with Lycoming, Drew, Goucher, and Wilkes respectively rounding out spots seven through ten in the standings. Susquehanna has wins against those four teams.
