Box Score MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (March 9, 2013) – A quick scoring run midway through the first half helped Elizabethtown earn a 19-11 win over the Sewanee women's lacrosse team Saturday in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
After Mallory Grimm got the Tigers (4-4) on the board first, Maddy Jackson tied the score a minute later for Elizabethtown (2-1).
Over the next 10 minutes, both teams would continue to trade scores. During that stretch, Grimm, Olivia Vietor, and Molly Arnold all netted goals.
Unfortunately, that was when the momentum shifted in favor of the Blue Jays. Elizabethtown scored eight of the next nine goals to lead 12-5 with 5:41 left before halftime.
Sewanee would fight back the final two minutes of the first half, after Ella Richardson and Arnold scored.
However, in the second half, the Blue Jays outscored Sewanee 7-4, which nullified any comeback attempt.
Despite winning 21 of 32 draw controls, the Tigers were undone by uncharacteristic 21 turnovers.
Individually, Arnold led Sewanee with a team-high three goals on five attempts. Grimm, Vietor, and Sally Anne Greenwood also finished with more than one score.
After two straight losses, Sewanee will look to regroup for the next three days before returning to action against FDU-Florham Wednesday. That match is scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m., (EST) in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
