GAMBIER, Ohio – Trailing for most of Wednesday's women's lacrosse game, The College of Wooster Fighting Scots used the final 15 minutes to catch and surpass the Kenyon College Ladies, who ended up on the short end of 15-14 North Coast Athletic Conference decision at McBride Field.

While the Kenyon team will do its best to forget about the result, it won't forget about the performance of senior Cassie Hudson-Heck. She scored five times in the game, boosting her season total to program-record 68 goals.

At the 20:06 mark of the second half, Hudson-Heck scored an unassisted goal to tie the previous Kenyon record of 66 goals in a season set by Ali Lacavaro in 1998.

Just about five minutes later, Hudson-Heck fired in the record breaker. Classmate Lucy Somers set up that goal, which occurred with the Ladies in a one-player advantage due to a Wooster yellow card.

Those two goals put Kenyon ahead 11-9, but Hudson-Heck wasn't done. She took another assist from Somers and tallied her 68th goal of the season at 13:33 mark, giving Kenyon a 12-10 lead.

Wooster, sensing time was running thin, won three straight draw controls and scored four times over a five-and-a-half minute span. Laura Papp and Megan Healy scored to tie the game and then Caitlyn O'Connor and Jenny Grossmann scored to give the Fighting Scots a 14-12 lead with 6:08 remaining.

As Kenyon drew near desperation mode, junior Avery Morgan stepped up. She scored a driving goal at 2:43 to pull the Ladies within one. Maggie Grabowski, another junior, won the ensuing draw control, but after passing off, the ball was lost on a turnover to Wooster. The Fighting Scots capitalized on the miscue and Ashley Boersman scored with 1:50 to push the Wooster cushion back to two.

Twenty-two seconds later, Morgan rang up another difficult driving goal for the Ladies, however, the final draw control was possessed by the Fighting Scots, who ran out the rest of the clock.

Hudson-Heck had one assist to go with her five goals, but it was Somers who led the Ladies in points. She notched a nine-point game on five goals and four assists. Somers now has 87 points on the season. That total ranks third best in program history. It's also just seven points shy of tying Kenyon's all-time, single-season record of 94 points set by Frankie De Lavis during the 2007 campaign.

Freshman Maya Fair accounted for Kenyon's other two goals, matching Morgan's final output.

The result of this game will have implications on seeding for next week's four-team NCAC Tournament. Denison University currently sits atop the standings with a 7-0 conference mark. Wooster and Kenyon are both at 6-1, while Oberlin College owns fourth place with a 4-3 NCAC mark.

Kenyon, now 13-3 overall, will figure out its placement in the tournament after Saturday's regular-season finale at Denison.
