DOVER, Del. – Kennesaw State women's lacrosse scored the first six goals of the game and never looked back, as the Owls claimed their first road victory of the season on Saturday afternoon, 13-4 at Delaware State in ASUN conference action at Drass Field. The Owls improved to 2-4 in league play with the win and have officially clinched a spot in next month's ASUN Tournament thanks to holding the tiebreaker over Stetson.
KEY PLAYERS: Hannah Barth paced the Owls with a hat trick, scoring a game-high four goals on four total shots.
Shannon Harrington also notched a hat trick with three saves, while six more players finished with one score each.
Julia Weiss played the first half in goal and allowed just one goal while collecting eight saves.
THE RUNDOWN: Barth and Harrington both scored two goals each in the opening 18 minutes, pushing the Owls out to a 6-0 advantage. After the Hornets got on the scoreboard with 9:09 on the clock in the second quarter, KSU scored the next six goals of the game to go up 12-1 for its largest lead of the afternoon.
QUOTABLE:
''Today we got started off on the right foot. We played 60 minutes with a full team effort. I thought we played disciplined defense, pushed transitional moments, and had good shot selection.
Abbey Behn really stepped up on draw controls today (four) and both goalies were fantastic."
- KSU Head Coach Laura Maness
NEXT TIME OUT: The Owls will close out the regular season when they host Lindenwood on Senior Day on Saturday, April 29 at 12 p.m. at Fifth Third Bank Stadium.
