Women’s Lacrosse Earns Crucial Conference Win Over McDaniel, 18-9

SWARTHMORE, Pa. - The Swarthmore College women's lacrosse team picked up a crucial Centennial Conference victory over McDaniel College, 18-9, on Saturday afternoon. The Garnet improved to 2-3 in the conference as they added distance between themselves and the Green Terror.

Emma Holub had a well-rounded performance as she paced the Garnet offense with seven points on three goals and four assists. Isabela Bloomquist and Elizabeth Zack also led the team with four goals, while Sophie Finkelstein added three scores for the team's fourth hat trick of the afternoon.

Swarthmore held McDaniel scoreless in the first quarter, which marked the 11th quarter of the season where the defense held an opponent to zero goals. Helen Stafford was excellent between the pipes with 11 saves and just six goals allowed. 

HOW IT HAPPENED
- Finkelstein put the Garnet on the board early with the opening tally at the 13:34 mark. The Garnet then quickly added another score from Cassidy Marquis as Holub was credited with an assist on both goals. Later in the quarter, Francesca Richardson found the back of the net with an unassisted score for the team's third-straight goal. Swarthmore added one more score as they took advantage of a turnover deep in their offensive zone. Bloomquist connected on the team's fourth goal off an assist from Richardson, 4-0. 

- The Green Terror broke their scoreless drought with the opening goal of the second quarter before the Garnet got back on track with another Finkelstein score. Holub earned her third assist of the game on the goal. Richardson then found the back of the net to expand the team's lead to five goals, while Elizabeth Zack quickly added on a goal with 9:14 left. Holub, Zack and Annabel Stifler then helped bust the game open with the team's sixth-straight score. McDaniel broke the Garnet's streak late in the second, but Holub added another score with seconds remaining to take an 11-2 lead into halftime. 

- The Green Terror controlled momentum early in the second half with a pair of goals to open the third quarter.
