Box Score
Hosting Worcester State University in a non-conference duel at the Brigham Athletic Complex tonight, the Fighting Scots improved to 10-3 overall on the season with a resounding 21-7 win over their guests, while the Lancers fall to 1-11 with the loss.

Jordan Alexander (Sr./Portland, Maine) registered seven points for the Scots behind three goals and four assists, while Anna Blomberg (So./Simsbury, Conn.) tallied four goals and one assist, Stephanie Fitzgerald (So./Groveland, Mass.) recorded a hat trick and a game-high 11 draw controls, Jocie Knaus (Sr./Kensington, Conn.) tallied three, and Kelly Linehan (So./White Plains, N.Y.) and Alana Woods (Jr./Medford, Mass.) chipped in two apiece. Rounding out the scoring were Parisa Hassanzadeh (Sr./Winchester, Mass.), Hala Coker (Sr./East Falmouth, Mass.), Kari Christensen (So./Standish, Maine), and Brittany Hawkins (Fr./Hampstead, N.H.) with one goal each.

With her efforts at center, Fitzgerald broke the single-season draw control record she set in her rookie debut last year, setting the new mark at 91 thus far on the season.

The Scots got their offense going early and never looked back, as Knaus netted her first of the day just 15 seconds into the contest on a solo effort from the top of the 8m for the 1-0 lead. Christensen and Alexander wasted no time building that lead to 3-0, converting a free position and an unassisted drive, respectively, to make it 3-0 just over two minutes in. And though Worcester's Jaclyn Lawlor (Fr./Westford, Mass.) put her team on the board to close the gap at 26:11, the Scots went on a 9-2 run over the remainder of the half to establish a hefty 12-3 advantage at the midway point.

The first half of the second stanza proved more evenly balanced offensively, as both teams netted four goals in the opening 12 minutes, but the Scots once again surged offensively to net five unanswered goals down the stretch to put the game away.

Worcester's effort was led by Megan Sheehan (Sr./Dunstable, Mass.) with three goals, while Vicki O'Brien (So./Canton, Mass.) tallied two and Lawlor and Angela Grassetti (Fr./Feeding Hills, Mass.) contributed one each. Alexandra Chisolm (Jr./Brookfield, Mass.) and Haley Erickson (Sr./Saugus, Mass.) split the day in the cage, combining for 12 saves in the loss.

The Scots return to the Brigham turf on Saturday night to host Roger Williams University in a Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) showdown at 6:00p.m. The Lancers play on the same day at Becker at 1:00p.m.
