GW earns most A-10 wins since 2015
PITTSBURGH – Behind a season-high matching 19 goals, GW lacrosse earned its fourth Atlantic 10 victory of the season at Duquesne on Saturday, with a commanding 19-11 win at Rooney Field. The Buff & Blue's four conference wins are the most for the program since 2015.
Behind a pair of helpers from Katelyn Walker, GW moved to an early 2-0 lead with goals from Everly Kessler and Kerry McKeever. The duo then scored again, and Whitney Moran pocketed her first goal of the game to put GW ahead 5-0. The Dukes got on the board on a free-position attempt to close the first quarter.
GW added four more goals in the second frame, allowing five goals for Duquesne, but GW's early lead helped the visitors sustain a 9-6 edge heading into halftime.
Both offenses were quiet in the third quarter, with the teams scoring two goals apiece and GW still leading 11-8.
The offensive spark for GW came in the fourth frame, with eight goals from five different goal scorers, including two from McKeever, Moran and Mowbray. The eight goals matched GW's season-high for most scored in a quarter. Duquesne added three goals to set the final score.
NOTEWORTHY
- McKeever led all scorers with five goals for her 11th multi-score game of the season. McKeever matched her season-high taking 10 shots, putting eight on net.
- Walker tallied her first-career hat trick with three goals. The senior captain was credited with six assists, a career-high for Walker and good enough for second in program history for a single game. Walker also penned her name in GW's record book for third all-time with nine points in a single game.
- Kessler notched her second hat trick of the season with three goals. The sophomore attacker also added three assists.
- McKeever and Stella Ray led GW with five draw controls apiece.
- GW's 10 assists were a season-high.
- GW held the advantage in shots (43-26), shots on goal (33-19), ground balls (17-13) and draw controls (18-13).
