Box Score

CHESTERTOWN, Md. -- #4 Franklin & Marshall's women's lacrosse team raced out to a 5-0 lead in the first ten minutes of an 18-2 Centennial Conference (CC) win at Washington College on Saturday.  Nine different players scored for the Diplomats (12-1, 7-0 CC). The Shorewomen (5-7, 0-6 CC) managed only 10 shots in the game.

For the fifth time in as many games, the Diplomats scored in the opening minute. As she did in last Saturday's 19-1 win at Dickinson, Jen Pritchard (Media, Pa. / Penncrest) scored 18 seconds in. She finished the game with three goals and an assist, moving into second on F&M's career points list. She needs 31 to tie Lauren Petrella '94 for the career record. Pritchard had her hat trick by halftime.

Meredith Lussier (Radnor, Pa. / Radnor) followed Pritchard with a pair of goals separated by 2:43. Ashley Bevington (Pottstown, Pa. / The Hill School) and Lauren Ehrhardt (Westbury, N.Y. / Kellenberg Memorial) all scored in the first 9:04 to build the early lead. Bevington finished the game with three goals and an assist. She now has 99 goals in her career, leaving her one-goal shy of becoming the fifth active Diplomat to achieve that milestone.

Shannon Summers (North Wales, Pa. / The Hill School) continued to pour on the points with a two goal, six assist effort. She rolled up six of those points in the first half, helping F&M to a 14-0 lead by the locker room break.

Lidia Sanza (Cockeysville, Md.  / SPSG) worked 42:37 scoreless minutes in the F&M net with five saves to her credit. Chelsea Meerbach (York, Pa. / York) worked the balance, allowing two goals, both in the final ten minutes.  Meerbach was credited with a single save.

Franklin & Marshall returns home on Wednesday for a Centennial showdown with #5 Gettysburg.
