Carey's Big Night Carries Vandy Past UNH
from press release
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Ally Carey and Katherine
Denkler each notched a hat trick with three goals as the Vanderbilt
lacrosse team improved to 5-3 on the season with an 11-6 win over
New Hampshire on Wednesday night at the VU Lacrosse Complex.
The Commodores marched out to an early 5-0 lead ten minutes into
the game. Amber Casiano's goal with 9:05 left in the first half
brought the Wildcats within three goals with a 6-3 score before
Vanderbilt put the game away with four straight goals to make it
10-3.
"Clearly we're happy to get the win and to have a winning record on
the season at this point," said Commodore head coach Cathy
Swezey. "I still think that we need to step up our play and
be a little more consistent from game-to-game. I think we did some
things well and need to improve in other areas."
In addition to her three goals, Carey also recorded eight ground
balls, three assists, three draw controls, and three caused
turnovers. Hannah Clark, Emily Franke, Kendall Pittinger, and
Kelly Connors also added goals for the `Dores.
The lacrosse team returns to action on Sunday, March 20, when they
travel to University Park, Pennsylvania, to take on Penn State at
11:00 a.m. CT. The next home game for the `Dores will be on Sunday,
March 27, against Stanford.
