4/27/2024 6:49:00 PM | Women's Lacrosse
WASHINGTON – The George Washington lacrosse team celebrated Senior Day prior to its season-finale matchup with La Salle on Saturday afternoon. The Explorers emerged victorious in the contest, winning 13-12 to conclude the 2024 season.
La Salle's offense came out firing, recording four goals in the first quarter to take a 4-2 lead after the first 15 minutes. GW's two goals came from Phoebe Mullarkey and Desiree Kleberg, both of which were unassisted. Despite the early deficit, GW wasn't fazed and ripped off four-straight to open the second quarter. Everly Kessler tallied two scores during that stretch, while Emma Nowakowski and Mullarkey added the other two. La Salle added a goal of their own late in the period, but GW managed to preserve a 6-5 lead going into halftime.
In the third quarter, La Salle outscored the Buff & Blue 3-2 in the frame to knot the score at eight apiece. GW's two goals came from Emma McLaughlin and Bailey Aaron, with Amelia Moran assisting McLaughlin's. In the fourth, GW opened the scoring with two goals in the first two minutes. The two teams traded goals for the next six minutes until GW took a 12-10 lead with 7:30 left in the game. From that point on, La Salle finished the contest on a 3-0 run to steal the 13-12 win. The winning goal came at the 2:22 mark from Claudia Steinmetz, her fifth of the game.
GW's offense was led by Kessler with four goals on eight shots. Mullarkey, Nowakowski and McLaughlin each tallied two goals apiece, while Kleberg and Aaron each finished with one goal. Nowakowski led the team with two caused turnovers, while Stella Ray tallied seven draw controls.
