Wooster Overwhelms Oberlin 18-8 in NCAC Opener

The College of Wooster women's lacrosse team scored the first 10 goals, and 13 of the first 14, during its North Coast Athletic Conference-opening game with Oberlin College on Thursday and cruised to an 18-8 victory in Oberlin, Ohio.

Wooster (4-3, 1-0 NCAC) found the back of the net five times within the first 8:54, including a quick hat trick for Hillary Darragh. The Fighting Scots continued to control play throughout the opening half and entered the break with an eventual 10-1 lead.

The score ballooned to 13-1 through the first 10 minutes of the second half and Wooster eventually secured the 10-goal win.

Darragh finished with a season-high four goals, while sisters Carly Carey and Madison Carey each recorded a hat trick as well. Carly, a senior, had three goals, which now puts her in a tie for the team lead in that category this year (18), and Madison, a freshman, produced the highest scoring output of her young career with three goals and an assist.

Also of note, Jess Cleveland connected on two goals and helped out on another, Amy Denny hit the back of the net twice, Eileen Barrer and Becca Worthington posted one-goal, one-assist outings, and Nina Dine assisted on a pair of scores.

On the other side of the field, Scot goalie Jamie Dannenberg made eight saves, including six in the first half to help build an insurmountable lead.

Wooster continues league play this Saturday afternoon when it hosts Kenyon College (7-1, 1-0 NCAC) at 1 p.m.
