Detroit Wins First Women's Game
from press release
WASHINGTON - Women’s lacrosse made its
UDM varsity debut on Saturday afternoon and what a first game it
was, as the Titans blasted Howard, 19-1.
Nine different Titans scored in the rout of the Bison (0-2) as
freshman Anna Eidem (Champlin, MN / Totino-Grace) led the way with
six goals, while Emily Boissonneault (Brooklin, ON / Donald A.
Wilson) tacked on five for UDM. Kandice Bogatz (Staten Island, NY /
Curtis) added three on the afternoon, while Alyssa Shaver (Flint,
MI / Carman-Ainsworth) also dented the net more than once with two
goals.
Boissonneault scored the initial goal of the game – and first
in UDM’s lacrosse history – at the 28:30 mark of the
opening half.
Detroit led 13-0 at intermission, and only a score by Sakita Holley
at the 29:14 mark of the second stanza kept Titan freshman goalie
Brett Yenger (Cincinnati, OH / Sycamore) from registering a shutout
in her first college game, however, Yenger did collect nine saves
for the Titans.
“We did some great things today at Howard,” coach Mary
Ann Meltzer said. “It was a fantastic start to the inaugural
season and it gives the athletes confidence going into our game
tomorrow at Navy.
“Our transition went really well today and Brett did a great
job of clearing the ball. The attack also did a good job in getting
the ball back before it got back to the defensive end.”
After Sunday’s game at Navy, the Titans will return to
Detroit for their home opener next Saturday against Niagara (11:00
a.m. at Titan Field).
