Monks Oust Cadets in GNAC Battle, 18-7

STANDISH, Maine – Saint Joseph's College (12-3, 11-0 GNAC) used an explosive first quarter and a balanced offensive effort to defeat Norwich University (10-2, 7-2 GNAC), 18-7, in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) women's lacrosse action at the SJC Athletic Complex on Friday afternoon.

Saint Joseph's stretched its winning streak to 10 games behind an offense that totaled 11 assists and saw five players score three or more goals.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

Sophomore Ella Highbarger (Kennebunk, Maine), sophomore Zoey Lailer (Limington, Maine), and junior Dinah Wadleigh (Augusta, Maine) each scored twice during the opening surge.

The Monks added four goals in the second quarter to carry a 12-3 lead into halftime and answered Norwich's brief third-quarter push with four consecutive goals to put the game away. Saint Joseph's closed out the 18-7 victory with a pair of fourth-quarter markers.
