Gettysburg Women Sweep Doubleheader
from press release
SAN ANTONIO – Playing two games in the same day had
little effect on the third-ranked Gettysburg College's women's
lacrosse team's scoring ability on Tuesday as the Bullets put in a
pair of dominating performances. Senior Nina Emala (Baltimore,
Md./Bryn Mawr School) put up seven points in a 16-2 win over
Wittenberg University and freshman Lindsay Menton (Ellicott City,
Md./Glenelg Country Day School) turned out eight points in a 21-5
victory over Colby-Sawyer College.
Gettysburg (4-0) hammered previously unbeaten Wittenberg (3-1) by
scoring each of the first 13 goals of the contest. Emala continued
her torrid start to the year with her second consecutive
seven-point outing, tossing in five goals in the opening half
alone. Sophomore Hannah Church (Ellicott City, Md./Mount de Sales)
added three goals and two assists, while senior Lauren Woodman
(Denver, Colo./Kent Denver) and freshman Haley Stauch (Trappe,
Md./Saints Peter & Paul) each tallied a pair of scores.
Junior Becky Lutz (Madison, Conn./Daniel Hand) posted a pair of
caused turnovers and corralled a team-high four draw controls.
Senior Anna Scanlan (Lutherville, Md./Roland Park Country Day
School) and sophomore Lexi Kelly (Ridley Park, Pa./Agnes Irwin
School) each recorded three ground balls.
Senior goalie Kristen Krammer (Woodbine, Md./Glenelg) did not allow
a goal in the opening half while making a trio of saves. Junior
Laura McIntyre (Glenmoore, Pa./Coatesville) closed the door in the
final period with four saves against two goals allowed.
Gettysburg rested the majority of its upperclassmen against
Colby-Sawyer (0-2) with no semblance of a letdown as all 21 goals
were scored by freshmen, tying the team's highest goal total over
the last five seasons. The Bullets ran off each of the first seven
goals in the contest and held a 15-2 lead at the break.
Menton and Stauch paced the effort, the former tossing in three
goals and doling out five assists and the latter hitting the back
of the net six times on eight shots. Menton added to the offensive
display with two ground balls, two caused turnovers, and eight draw
controls.
Gettysburg also received three goals from freshman Ali Lospinuso
(Rumson, N.J./Kent School) and two apiece from Kelly Ruffini
(Swarthmore, Pa./Strath Haven), Lindsey Robinson (Potomac,
Md./Holton-Arms), Katie Levy (Baltimore, Md./Friends School), and
Maddie Desmond (Floral Park, N.Y./Holy Trinity). Ruffini dished out
four assists for a six-point day and Robinson added two
helpers.
Defensively, freshman Mairead McGuirk (Bel Air, Md./John Carroll
School) posted five ground balls and a caused turnover. Sophomore
Maddie Coleman (Lexington, Va./Rockbridge Country) and junior Laura
Block (Leesburg, Va./Foxcroft School) each played a half in goal
with Coleman recording the only save.
Gettysburg closes its Lone Star State trip on Thursday, March 11,
against 10th-ranked Catholic University. Game time is set for 11
a.m.
