Loretto, Pa – Sophomore midfielder
Emileigh Scott (Ellicott City, Md./Howard) netted a career-high seven goals in Friday's 13-9 victory over Central Connecticut State. Scott tied the program record for the second most goals in a single game with teammate
Morgan Day (New Park, Pa./Kennard Dale) who scored seven earlier this season at Radford. With the win, the Saint Francis women's lacrosse team improved to 5-9 overall and 2-4 in conference play.
Concheck's Reaction
"Today was a great display of how we can play complete lacrosse and have the ability to be dynamic. We had some beautiful offensive and defensive sets alike. Ashley played outstanding for us as well between the pipes. Our younger athletes have continued to step up as our season has progressed and we are proud of that."
