Cardinals Fly Past Falcons, 21-2

SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio – Wheeling Jesuit netted the first nine goals and flew past Notre Dame College in the women's lacrosse regular season finale, 21-2.
 
The Cardinals (6-9, 4-1 Mountain East Conference) dominated first-half play, scoring nine goals without allowing the Falcons (3-11/0-5 MEC) to touch the back of the net. Kori Hickman started the scoring at 23:13 after she cleared the ball past the 30-yard marker. Notre Dame scored its only two goals before intermission, but Kate Calder retaliated with a score to send the teams into the halftime break, 10-2. In the final half, WJU found the back of the net 11 consecutive times without giving NDC a single goal. WJU outshot its opponent, 38-17.
