Box Score GREENCASTLE, Ind. – Senior Emily Nichols scored six goals Saturday and both Alex Bair and Jane Symmes scored four as the Kenyon College women's lacrosse team waltzed to a 24-8 win against the host DePauw University Tigers. The win assured the Ladies of a home game in the upcoming North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament.

Kenyon (11-2, 7-1 NCAC) will enter the four-team conference tournament riding a seven-game win streak. The Ladies will be the No. 2 seed in the tournament and will host the No. 3-seeded Denison University Big Red on Thursday at Mavec Field. Wittenberg University, the No. 1 seed, will host No. 4-seeded College of Wooster in the other semifinal game.

The Ladies really never gave DePauw (4-7, 1-6 NCAC) a chance Saturday. Alexandra Hamilton, Symmes, and Nichols all scored two quick goals and powered Kenyon to an 8-4 lead within the game's first 18 minutes. Symmes scored once more in the half and Leah Sack, who dished out three, first-half assists, scored another Kenyon goal to put the score at 10-5 as the teams headed into intermission.

The five-goal cushion continued to expand in the second half. Nichols notched two more early, second-half tallies and sparked a four-goal run that moved the score to 14-5 in favor of the Ladies. DePauw got as close as seven goals around the mid-way point of the second stanza, but Kenyon turned on the afterburners and closed the game out with nine straight scores.

Nichols' six goals give her 48 on the season and 180 for her career. Sack, also a senior, finished with three goals and six assists. She now was 67 assists on the season and 168 for her career, both Kenyon and NCAC records. Her 257 career points are also a Kenyon record and her 83 points this season are nine points shy of the program's single-season record.

Hamilton matched Sack's three-goal output, while Susie Gurzenda, Heather Amato, Caroline Shipman, and Amy Morgan accounted for the Ladies' other goals.
