Lady Pride down Wesleyan in lacrosse action, 18-4

Rocky Mount, NC - Greensboro College out-scored North Carolina Wesleyan 11-2 in the second half on Wednesday afternoon, sealing an 18-4 win over the Bishops in USA South women's lacrosse action at Scalf Field.  Freshman goalie Sarah Seligman tallied a season-high 20 saves in the losing effort.  Wesleyan is now 1-6 on the season, 0-2 in conference play.  The Lady Pride improved to 4-1 overall, 3-0 in league action.

NCWC's Lauren Stearns scored the game's first goal unassisted to give the Bishops an early 1-0 lead.  Greensboro, however, reeled off the next five goals to take a 5-1 advantage that they would not relinquish.  Caroline Young's score at the 13:16 mark proved to be the eventual gamewinner.

After taking a 7-2 lead into the break, the Pride put to rest any thoughts of a Bishop comeback by scoring eight of the final period's first nine goals for a 15-3 lead.

Young led all scorers with five goals and three assists.  Monika Hulcher and Jenna Gast added three goals apiece, while Kristin McGuire earned the win in goal after facing eight shots and making two saves.

In addition to Stearns' goal, senior Allie Stylc added two scores for the Bishops. Katelyn Guinn scored Wesleyan's final goal on an assist from Sarah Matulich.

Greensboro out-shot Wesleyan 42-12 on the day as the Bishops committed a crucial 31 turnovers.

Wesleyan continues USA South action on Saturday when the Bishops travel to Ferrum College for a 1:00 p.m. match-up with the Panthers.
