SPRINGFIELD, Ohio - After losing last week to Notre Dame College, the Wittenberg women's lacrosse team came together and soundly defeated their opponent, winning big over Tri-State by a score of 19-1 and improving their record to 2-2.
The game, set against cold winds and a mix of rain and snow, was over as soon as it began as the Tigers scored 15 unanswered goals to start the first half. Leading the Tigers in scoring was senior Lizzie Amorello (Sutton, Mass. /Worcester Academy), firing in four goals and adding one assist. Also contributing to the offensive effort were Joelle Ghanem (Dublin, Ohio/Coffman), Amber Cupples (Wooster, Ohio/Wooster), and Kristin Komar (Oak Park, Ill./Oak Park & River Forest), all scoring two goals each to defeat the Thunder.
Tiger goalkeeper Bonnie Kenney (Lutherville, Md./Park School) almost finished off a perfect game, allowing only one goal late in the second half. Also standing out for the Tiger defense was Maggie Amorello (Sutton, Mass./Worcester Academy), who registered a game-high seven draw controls.
The Red & White next face Fontbonne on the road Saturday, March 29, with a 3 p.m. start time.
