BOX SCORE Clinton, S.C. - Freshman Sydney Davis (Harwood, Md./Southern) scored five goals and added three assists and the Saint Francis lacrosse team (2-1) held Presbyterian (0-3) scoreless over the second half to record a 16-3 win on Sunday afternoon.

Concheck's Reaction

"Our hustle stats have been remarkable over the past three games as we have dominated the draw and 50/50 balls, which has allowed us to control the tempo," said head coach Kara Concheck. "I am proud of our defensive unit for shutting out PC in the second half. Our offense had good flow and ball movement as 10 of our 16 goals were assisted. Sydney Davis (Harwood, Md./Southern) was at the forefront of our attack and had a tremendous game."

Turning Point

Davis took over the game early, scoring four goals in a span of 11:23 to push a 2-1 Saint Francis lead to 6-2. The Red Flash scored three more times before the end of the period to take a 9-3 lead into halftime.

Notes

• Saint Francis held Presbyterian scoreless in the second half, the first time in program history it has held an opponent scoreless over an entire half.
• The three goals allowed were the fewest since allowing two to Delaware State on Mar. 17, 2013.
• Davis's eight points were the most by a Saint Francis player since Danielle Conwell tallied nine and Kate Simmons tallied eight in the same game vs. LIU-Brooklyn on Apr. 20, 2012. She tied the school's freshman single game scoring record previously set by Chelsea Kent in 2009, scoring on all five of her shots.
• Junior midfielder Jessica Mazzur (Dallastown, Pa./York Catholic) finished with two goals and two assists, while Sydney Rowan (Rochester, N.Y./Our Lady of Mercy) and Holly Lawrence (Damascus, Md./Damascus) added two goals and an assist.
• Freshman EJ Karwatka (Bel Air, Md. /Patterson Mill) scored her first career goal in the win.
• Senior Heather McKee (Bel Air, Md./C. Milton Wright Bel Air) and sophomore Ashley Stoessel (Smithtown, N.Y./Smithtown East) combined for four saves.

By the Numbers

• SFU doubled up on the Blue Hose in shots, 28-14.
• The Red Flash entered the contest No. 1 in the NCAA in ground balls and did nothing to hurt their ranking by recording 25 ground balls on the evening. Lawrence and senior Sydeny Shearer paced the team with three ground balls each.
• Lawrence also registered four draw controls as SFU won the battle of the draw, 14-7.
• Saint Francis put 23 of its 28 shots on cage.

Up Next

Saint Francis can tie its program-long winning streak as well as its fastest start to a season through four games with a win at Gardner-Webb on Tuesday. First draw is scheduled for 2 p.m.
