Box Score

HANOVER, N.H. – The Drexel University women's lacrosse team broke open a tight game with four goals in the opening three minutes of the second quarter as the Dragons earned a 15-6 non-conference win at Dartmouth on Tuesday afternoon.

BY THE NUMBERS

Karson Harris, Colleen Grady, and Lucy Schneidereith each scored four times on the day. For Harris, her third tally of the contest pushed her past the 50-goal mark for the second consecutive season.
Lindsey Dean, Allison Drake, and Bridget Finley also scored for Drexel.
Corinne Bednarik was the primary facilitator on the afternoon with three assists. Grady, Drake and Hayleigh Simpson added one each.
The Dragons held a 19-6 advantage on the draw, with Bednarik and Maura Cissel pulling in five apiece with Harris controlling four.
Belle McHugh had a big day on the defensive end with a career-high five caused turnovers and tied a personal best with five ground balls.
When shots did get through on net, Zoe Bennett helped keep them from crossing the goal line, making 10 saves.

HOW IT HAPPENED
FIRST QUARTER – Drexel 2, Dartmouth 1
After missing out on a couple of chances early, Harris got Drexel on the board with her first goal of the contest just past the midway point of the frame. 78 seconds later, she found the back of the cage again. Dartmouth scored its first marker of the contest with just less than two minutes remaining, making it a one-goal game into the second.

SECOND QUARTER – Drexel 9, Dartmouth 3
Harris came out firing in the new quarter, netting her 50th goal of the season, taking the ball from the left wing, driving across the goal mouth, and sending it top shelf. The tally opened the floodgates as a pair of scores from Grady and one from Schneidereith in a span of 1:07 pushed DU up 6-1 at the 12:11 mark of the frame. After a tally from the Big Green, Harris, Drake, and Dean each netted a goal, the last coming on a player-up opportunity as the Dragons took a 9-2 lead, eventually taking a six-goal lead into halftime.

THIRD QUARTER – Drexel 10, Dartmouth 5
Dartmouth came out better on both ends of the field to start the second half, scoring the first two goals of the stanza and cutting the lead to 9-5 at the midway mark of the third period. Bennett came up big for Drexel as the period went on, making three saves. The last of her stops led to a counterattack and goal by Grady with seven seconds left in the frame, helping the Dragons to go up by five heading into the final quarter.

FOURTH QUARTER – Drexel 15, Dartmouth 6
Much like the second quarter, the Dragons struck early and often in the fourth. A pair of goals by Schneidereith and one by Grady made it 13-6 less than four minutes into the frame. Finley scored with 5:50 left and Schneidereith posted her second player-up tally of the afternoon in the waning moments to cement the final score.

UP NEXT
Drexel closes the regular season with Senior Day on Saturday, April 30 when it hosts No. 11 James Madison. Opening draw from Vidas Field is scheduled for noon.
