Ladies top Fighting Scots in NCAC semifinal

GAMBIER, Ohio – Playing host to the fourth-seeded the College of Wooster Fighting Scots, the Kenyon College women's lacrosse team proved why they are the top seed in the 2022 North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) Tournament. The Ladies commanded the game from start to finish, winning by a score of 20-8.

Caroline O'Neil started the scoring for the Ladies less than 90 seconds from the opening draw control. Following a brief break, Ella Murphy pushed the Kenyon lead to two with her first goal of the afternoon. Maddie Garner and O'Neil each netted another goal before Murphy tacked on the Ladies' fifth in the first quarter. Wooster cracked the scoreboard with a minute to go in the period, but Mallory Brophy answered back with her 12th goal of the season. The Fighting Scots took advantage of the final look of the quarter, scoring with four seconds left. After the first 15 minutes of action, Kenyon held a commanding 6-2 lead. 

Wooster scored the second quarter's first goal to cut the Ladies' lead to three, but Kenyon scored five unanswered over the course of five minutes, ballooning its lead to eight. A Scots goal with 5:29 left before halftime stopped the Ladies' streak. With 4:57 remaining in the quarter, Murphy picked up her fourth of the game. Julia Losey followed with a goal of her own 40 seconds later while Brett Bearrows scored on a woman-up opportunity to push the lead to 10. Wooster temporarily stopped the running clock with a pair of goals by Ciara O'Connor. At halftime, Kenyon comfortably sat ahead with a 14-6 lead. 

In the third quarter, Tatumn Eccleston found Emma Hutchison inside for another Ladies' goal. With just under 10 minutes left in the period, Garner started the running clock once again as she moved the Kenyon lead to 16-6. Before the quarter ended, Murphy and Losey added in a goal each. 

The Scots, looking for an unprecedented comeback, scored with 11:59 remaining in the game to open the fourth quarter. Bearrow's second goal of the game shut down that opportunity followed by Blythe Karras' goal with 7:55 pushed the Ladies' lead to 13. Wooster scored their final goal with 39 seconds left, but Kenyon walked away with a 20-8 win. 

The Ladies host Denison University for the NCAC championship on Saturday at 1 p.m. As mandated by the league office, tickets for the game are $7 for adults and $3 for children (18 and under). NCAC students with a valid institution ID will be admitted free of charge.
