The women’s lacrosse team continued its six-game winning streak, two of them conference wins, with two decisive wins against Carthage College and Trine University last weekend.

The Scots triumphed over Carthage (2-9) 18-10 and dominated Trine (3-7) 24-10 on the road.

The Scots opened by trading goals against the Carthage Lady Reds, but stepped up their play with an eight-goal run over 30 minutes in the middle of the game to give Wooster a lead that Carthage was never able to overcome.

The second goal by Nina Dine ’11 in the first five-minute of the game put Wooster ahead 2-1, but Carthage quickly responded to tie the score.† Clare Nelson-Johnson ’13† followed with another goal, and in the span of the next 33 seconds Madison Carey ’12 and Becca Worthington ’10 each scored to give Wooster a four-goal lead (6-2).

The Lady Reds responded with two more scores, but an eight-goal run put Wooster ahead considerably and for good. Nelson-Johnson and Worthington led the Scots to an 8-4 advantage at the half.

After the break Dine, Carey, Worthington, Nelson-Johnson and Emily Meyer ’11 totaled six more goals in the early minutes of the second half, giving Wooster a double-digit lead (14-4).

Amy Denny ’10 had seven draw controls throughout the game and Wooster outshot Carthage 27-16 while recording almost three times the number of ground balls (11-4).

Dine, Worthington and Nelson-Johnson all recorded four goals for the day, while Carey had two and Katie Smart ’11 had one goal and an assist.† In goal, Shawna Ferris ’13 made three saves and allowed seven goals.

The next day the Scots traveled to Trine University in Indiana where they followed up with an even larger win in a 24-10 match.

In the two days on the road, Wooster totaled 42 points and is now averaging 15.5 goals per game.

The Scots had no problem scoring early and often, extending an early 9-3 to 15-5 going into the halftime break. Wooster went 7-for-10 on free-position shots in the first half, with both Dine and Nelson-Johnson recording hat tricks before the half.† Worthington, Denny and Carey each completed hat tricks in the second half, and Megan Piemonte ’13 recorded her first career goal that afternoon.

Nelson-Johnson led Wooster’s scoring that day with seven points (six goals, one assist), followed by Carey with five goals.

Worthington had three goals and one assist, and Denny and Dine each had three goals. In goal, Ferris made six saves. For Trine, Kayla Grieser and Ashley Kocsis each recorded four goals on the day.

Wooster hosted Albion College (1-2) Wednesday and will play at rival Wittenberg University tomorrow at 2 p.m.
