PC Scores Program-High 20 Goals In Win Over Seton Hill

CLINTON, S.C. – Presbyterian College’s women’s lacrosse team continued its rewriting of the record books on Tuesday afternoon in a 20-1 victory over Seton Hill University at Old Bailey Stadium.

The 20 goals acquired by the Lady Blue Hose marked the first time in its two-year varsity history that they had scored 20 or more. The win over the Griffins is also the first time that PC’s women’s lacrosse team has defeated an opponent twice.

Presbyterian claimed its first victory all-time in the 2006 season with a 15-10 win over Seton Hill on Apr. 2.

The Lady Blue Hose never had any trouble with the Griffins, scoring in the first 10 seconds of the game when Jordan Newberry found the back of the cage.

PC would eventually finish the first half of play with a 12-0 advantage.

PC was led in the 20-1 victory over Seton Hill by freshman Lauren Thomas (Waynesville, N.C.), who finished the contest with a game-high four goals.

Thomas concluded the game as one of four Lady Blue Hose with three or more goals and one of five PC student-athletes with two or more goals.

Shannon Strodel (Duluth, Ga.), Newberry (Atlanta, Ga.) and Brittni Dulaney (Rome, Ga.) all tallied three goals in the contest.

PC’s Berkley Aiken (Charlotte, N.C.) finished the contest with the most points after dishing out a game-high four assists and scoring two of her own.

In total, 10 Lady Blue Hose scored in the game on 37 Presbyterian shots.

Seton Hill’s Lindsay Smith netted the Griffins only goal of the contest when she scored on a free position shot in the second half to make it 15-1 in favor of Presbyterian. The Griffins only managed six shots in the entire contest.

The Lady Blue Hose were also a perfect 11-for-11 on their clears on the afternoon.

Presbyterian (4-5) will next play its final home tilt of the 2007 season at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 25 at Johnson Field at Old Bailey Stadium. The Lady Blue Hose will honor their three seniors prior to the contest.
