Ford Moves Atop Wooster’s Coaching List After 5-3 Win at York (Pa.)

Liz Ford became The College of Wooster's all-time winningest women's lacrosse coach on Saturday when the Fighting Scots edged past York College 5-3 during a very low-scoring match-up played in southeastern Pennsylvania. Ford, in just her fourth year at the helm of the Wooster program is now 35-14, as she passed up her predecessor, Alison Share, who was 34-12 from 2003-05.

As for Saturday's affair, it marked the lowest scoring game the Fighting Scots have been involved in since the 1979 season opener, a 5-2 victory over Kenyon College.

Wooster (2-0) built a 4-0 halftime cushion, behind a pair of goals from Taryn Higgins.

York (2-5) clawed back into it with two early goals in the second, which made the score 5-2 with 24:57 to play. However, the two offenses managed just one more tally and that did not come until the 4:04 mark.

The stingy effort included strong contributions from defenders Emmy Cassagnol, Romy Eberle, and Britta Harman among others, as well as goalie Jamie Dannenberg, who was credited with six saves – three in each half. Overall, the Spartans got off just 15 shots.

Offensively for the Scots, Higgins finished with three goals, marking her seventh career hat trick. Carly Carey had a goal and an assist, Hillary Darragh helped out on two scores, and Nina Dine accounted for the other goal.

Next on Wooster's spring break slate is a tilt at Washington (Md.) College (3-1) Tuesday night.
