SWARTHMORE, Pa.—Swarthmore College Women's Lacrosse topped the Ursinus College Bears 12-6 on Saturday afternoon with
Tess Wild leading the way with three goals.
Bridget Silveira and
Mackenzie Frost each tallied a pair of goals.
Sydnie Schwarz,
Kathryn Restrepo,
Taylor Chiang,
Kacy Hafertepe and
Sophie Peipher also scored in the win. The Garnet netted five of their goals on free-position attempts.
The Garnet won the draw-control battle 12-8, and Wild had a huge part of that, claiming seven draws. Peipher and Frost each had two.
Betsy Cohen recorded five saves in the win.
The Garnet went ahead 2-1 in the first 10 minutes and then created some breathing room with four goals in three minutes. Frost whipped in a nice sidearm goal with 4:50 left in the first off an assist from Wild and the Garnet led 7-5 at the break.
Wild carved through the defense for Swarthmore's first goal of the second half. After Ursinus scored a player-up goal, Swarthmore responded with a player-down goal by Wild.
Swarthmore was called for four yellow cards but only allowed one power-play goal in the contest.
The Garnet, now 6-1 this season, travel to Bryn Mawr for a conference game on Wednesday.
