KING'S WOMEN'S LACROSSE DEFEATS WILKES 13-5, TIE
SCHOOL RECORD FOR SINGLE-SEASON VICTORIES
WILKES-BARRE -- The King's College women's lacrosse
team equaled the school record for victories in a season as the Lady
Monarchs posted a 13-5 victory over visiting Wilkes University Wednesday
at Betzler Fields.
With the victory, King's improved to 5-3 overall and
3-3 in the Middle Atlantic Conference. Wilkes slipped to 0-9 overall and
0-7 in the MAC. The Lady Monarchs also tied the school record for wins in
one season, equaling the marks set in 2000 and 2003.
King's jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first half
when Kristen Greene scored the first two goals of the game, the first
coming off an assist from Pam Wright. Lindsay Sabo gave the Lady Monarchs
a 3-0 lead with an unassisted goal at 19:57 of the first half.
Wilkes would respond with a pair of goals when
Danielle McDonald scored off an assist from Lyndsay Asinelli, before
Kathryn Currier scored unassisted with 17:34 on the clock. Kim Murray
would put King's ahead 4-2 at 15:59, but Asinelli countered for the Lady
Colonels with a goal just 2:39 later. Maria Currier then scored to bring
the game to a 4-4 tie with 7:17 remaining in the opening half. The Lady
Monarchs would answer, however when Sabo and Kelly Ilardi scored, followed
by consecutive goals from Kim Murray as the 4-0 King's spurt enabled the
Lady Monarchs to forge a 8-4 halftime lead.
King's would control the temp in the second half and
kept the Lady Colonels off the scoreboard. Greene and Sabo would both
tally their third goals of the game while Murray added her second and
third goals of the contest as the Lady Monarchs outscored Wilkes 5-0 over
the final 30 minutes.
King's goalie Mary Beth Clark made 14 while Lady
Colonel keeper Cassie Malone stopped eight shots.
King's will be idle until Tuesday when the Lady
Monarchs travel to Madison, NJ to face traditional MAC power Drew
University.
