Box Score SEWANEE, Tenn. (March 24, 2013) – The Sewanee women's lacrosse team earned its fourth straight victory as the Tigers breezed past Southern Athletic Association (SAA) member Oglethorpe, 20-5, Sunday on a soggy Puett Field.
After a free position goal by Xenia Perry, Sewanee responded with eight straight scores. During that stretch, Mallory Grimm, Molly Arnold, Ellie Murphy, Sally Anne Greenwood, and Wittney Reed all found the back of the net.
Down 8-1, the Stormy Petrels added their second score when Katie Weeks fired in a goal. However, any hope of an OU rally was short lived as the Tigers went back on attack. Over the final 13 minutes of the first half Murphy, Arnold, Katie Riddle, Olivia Vietor, and Ella Richardson all helped the Tigers built a 13-point, 16-3, halftime lead.
In the second half, Sewanee kept playing hard. Arnold, Grimm, and Riddle combined for four additional goals, which finalized the 15-point margin.
Overall, Arnold, Grimm, Riddle, Vietor, Murphy, Reed, Richardson, Greenwood, Caitlin-Jean Juricic, and Brita Brudvig all finished with at least one point.
As a team Sewanee had its second highest single-match assist total this season with 13. Additionally, the Tigers finished with 18 caused turnovers, 25 groundballs, and 15 draw controls.
Sewanee will now put its winning streak on the line with a 2:00 p.m., match Friday against league foe Berry.
