Tigers defeat the Lynx for first time since 2015

SEWANEE, Tenn. – Sewanee snapped Rhodes' 43-game conference winning streak and 61-game streak against conference opponents with a 16-12 victory at home, fueled by a dominant nine-point performance from Marlin Price.

The win marked Sewanee's first over Rhodes since 2015 and handed the Lynx their first conference loss in a decade.

Price led the way with seven goals and two assists, while Sally Herrington and Morgan Boylan each contributed four points. Herrington tallied three goals and an assist, while Boylan recorded a goal and three assists.

Alex Kelly anchored the Tigers' possession game with seven draw control wins. Brooke Sigmon added four draw controls, four ground balls, two goals, and an assist, while Sally Whitehead chipped in four draw controls, three ground balls, and four caused turnovers.
Defensively, Ella Townsend led the charge with four caused turnovers, six ground balls, two assists, and a draw control win.

Sewanee outshot Rhodes 38 to 21 and the Tigers were 16-of-18 on clears while Rhodes was 17-of-25. Sewanee picked up 30 ground balls compared to 19 from the Lynx. 

Sewanee wasted no time as Herrington struck just 35 seconds in with a free-position goal. The Tigers quickly capitalized on back-to-back man-up opportunities—Elizabeth Muller connected with Price 35 seconds later, and Boylan found Price for her second goal of the game. Rhodes responded with a man-up goal before Boylan set up Herrington to make it 4-1.

The Lynx cut the deficit with another man-up goal late in the first quarter, but Price answered with her third goal off a free-position attempt. Rhodes added one more before the end of the quarter, making it 5-3.

Sigmon extended Sewanee's lead early in the second with a man-down goal off a free-position shot, but Rhodes responded with four straight goals—including two from free-position attempts—to briefly take the lead. Price then assisted Kennedy Harcourt to tie the game at 7-7. With 24 seconds left in the half, Sigmon found Price to put Sewanee back on top, 8-7.

The Tigers took control in the third quarter. Townsend caused a turnover, Sigmon scooped up the ground ball, and Boylan capitalized with a man-up goal off an assist from Price. Just 28 seconds later, Price struck again on another man-up opportunity. Rhodes managed a man-down goal—their only score of the quarter—but Sewanee responded. Harcourt connected with Boylan, Townsend assisted Price with 2:19 remaining, and Harcourt set up Townsend for another goal just 43 seconds later, giving the Tigers a 13-8 lead heading into the fourth.

Rhodes opened the final frame with a goal after a free-position save by Lilly Jordan, but Sewanee quickly answered as Townsend found Sigmon for her second goal of the game. Moments later, Helen Newcomb forced a turnover, Claire Dillard recovered the ground ball, and Erika Bolcar assisted Herrington for a six-goal advantage.

The Lynx made a late push with back-to-back goals, cutting the deficit to four, but Herrington connected with Muller at the 3:20 mark to keep the Tigers in control. Rhodes added a final man-up goal, but it wasn't enough, as Sewanee secured a historic win—its first over the Lynx in 10 years.

Sewanee will face Berry on Friday and hosts Transylvania on Saturday for their senior day.
