WJU Women’s Lacrosse Picks Up Second Straight Win

Box Score HIAWASEE, G.A. – The Wheeling Jesuit women's lacrosse team picked up their second win in a row on their spring break trip through Georgia, with a 13-6 victory over Young-Harris College.
 
The Cardinals went into halftime with a narrow 6-5 lead. WJU got a little breathing room early in the second when Elizabeth Hales scored early to spark the Cardinal attack.
 
The Wheeling Jesuit defense tightened up after that, holding Young Harris scoreless form nearly the entire period, allowing a late goal with 11 seconds left on the clock.
 
Goalkeeper, Maire Austin, turned away 6 shots and the defense in front of her suffocated the Mountain Lion offense.
 
Other Cards accounting for goals were Sara Fitzsimon (4 G, 0 A), Hales (3 G, 2 A), Mary Burns (2 G, 0 A), Paige Plesich (2 G, 1 A), Jessie Tufnell (1 G, 4 A), and Olivia Krock (1 G, 0 A).
 
Wheeling Jesuit (2-1) will look to continue their winning streak when they square off against Edinboro (0-0) on March 11th.
