The College of Wooster's Carly Carey produced a
career-high seven-point game, scoring six goals for the second time
in four days, while leading the Fighting Scots to a 15-10
non-conference victory at Adrian College Saturday in women's
lacrosse action.
Carey, who scored six times for the first time in her career during
Wednesday's key 20-5 win over league rival Ohio Wesleyan
University, picked up where she left off as she had a hat trick
within the first 12:41 on Saturday. That was part of a game-opening
7-1 run for Wooster (9-3).
Late in the half, Adrian (9-4) countered by converting a
free-position attempt, only to see the Fighting Scots explode for
four scores during the final 3:33, taking a commanding 11-2
advantage into the break.
The Bulldogs, a second-year varsity program, rallied in the second
half by accounting for three unanswered goals early on and six of
the first eight to pull within 13-8 with 4:50 remaining. Nina Dine
finished off any hopes of an Adrian comeback with a goal 30 seconds
later, and about two minutes after that, Carey netted her sixth of
the day en route to the win.
Carey's big week has vaulted her season total to 47 points,
including 40 goals, and in the process, she moved up three spots to
No. 8 on the school's all-time scoring list at 168 points
(138 goals, 30 assists). Hillary Darragh and Dine each notched hat
tricks on Saturday, with all three of Darragh's goals coming
in the first half, while the other multi-point scorer was Becca
Worthington with one goal and one assist.
Defensively, Jamie Dannenberg was steady as usual, gaining credit
for 11 saves on 29 Bulldog shots, and also of note, Taryn Higgins
had three draw controls, two groundballs, and one goal.
Wooster is off until next Saturday when it hosts North Coast
Athletic Conference opponent Wittenberg University (7-3, 2-1 NCAC)
at 2 p.m.
