GAMBIER, Ohio – Celebrating Senior Day, the Kenyon College women's lacrosse team put on quite a show Saturday at McBride Field. The Ladies were ignited by an emotional goal from senior Kat Englert and rolled to a 21-5 North Coast Athletic Conference victory against the visiting Tigers from DePauw University.

Earlier in the season, Englert suffered a knee injury that cost her 11 games and left her just eight goals shy of tying the Kenyon career record of 197. Englert, not fully recovered, managed to get on the field Saturday and set up in the middle of the DePauw zone. With 27:51 showing on the clock, she collected a pass from sophomore Maggie Grabowski, turned and slipped a back-handed shot past the DePauw goalkeeper.

After being mobbed by her teammates, Englert was presented with the ball and then exited the game. The Kenyon standout finished her career ranked second all-time in Ladies' history with 190 goals and 238 points. Her career average of 4.96 points per game stands as a new Kenyon record, clipping the old mark of 4.28 set by Ashley Van Etten '84.

That wasn't the only record set Saturday. Grabowski, who scored one goal and dished out three assists, took down 16 draw controls. That total was a single-game Kenyon record, topping the previous record of 14 draw controls from Ali Lacavaro '99 set in a 1998 game against The College of Wooster.

After Englert's game-opening goal, the Ladies rattled off nine more to claim a comfortable 10-0 lead with a little more than 12 minutes left in the first half.

DePauw didn't score its first goal until the 9:27 mark. The Tigers then tossed in two more before halftime, but moved to the second half facing a 10-3 deficit.

Kenyon sophomore Avery Morgan, who scored three goals in the first half, scored three more in the second half and finished with a game-high six points. Junior Cassie Hudson-Heck matched those six points, but did so on five goals and one assist. That left Hudson-Heck as the team's scoring leader for the season, as she finished her campaign with 58 goals, 14 assists and 72 points. Morgan wasn't far behind. She closed out the 2018 campaign with 55 goals, 7 assists and 62 points.

Saturday's game also featured three goals from freshman Katelyn Schwartz and two from both junior Lucy Somers and senior Charley Myers. Somers also matched Grabowski's three assists, finishing with a five-point game.

In goal, another Kenyon senior, Allie Dumas made four saves and earned the win, bringing her season record to 9-4. Backing her up in the defensive zone, senior Caitlin Augerson logged three caused turnovers and five ground balls.

Kenyon outshot DePauw, 39-11, while forcing the Tigers into 30 turnovers and 17 failed clear attempts.

The win improved the Ladies record to 11-5 overall and 5-3 in NCAC play. They finished in a tie for fourth place with Allegheny College, but the Gators gained the final spot in the conference's four-team postseason tournament by virtue of their 15-8 regular-season win against the Ladies.

On the other side of the field, the loss set DePauw back to 2-14 overall and an eighth-place 1-7 mark in the NCAC.
