Six in the history of The College of Wooster women's lacrosse program have scored eight goals in a game, but no one has ever reached nine.

That was until senior Syd Schuster accomplished the feat in the team's 17-11 win over Allegheny College on Wednesday.

Even more impressive, Schuster did not score her first goal until 12 minutes into the contest. Wooster received goals from Kenzie Morris, Caitlyn O'Connor and Jill Murray as the two teams played to a 3-3 stalemate.

Then with 2:54 left in the first quarter, Schuster connected on her first goal. Allegheny answered with 38 seconds remaining in the quarter, and after one quarter of play the game was tied at 4-4.

Schuster then led the Scots with four of its seven goals in the second quarter. After the two teams traded goals, Schuster scored two straight to put Wooster ahead 7-5.

Later in the quarter, Murray found Schuster for her fourth goal, which started a run of three straight goals to end the quarter for the Scots. Schuster assisted on a goal by Ciara O'Connor, then got back in the scoring column herself on a free position shot as Wooster took an 11-7 lead heading into halftime.

Schuster opened scoring in the second half with her sixth goal of the game. She later scored a player up, along with Caitlyn O'Connor, as Wooster extended its lead to 15-8 after three.

In the fourth, Allegheny attempted to rally with the quarter's first three goals to pull to within four. However, Schuster stopped the run with her eighth goal with 8:27 remaining as Hannah Shaw assisted on the play.

With time running low, both teams struggled to find much offensively for the rest of the game. However, Schuster was able to capitalize one more time as she created her own scoring opportunity with 3:40 left, her record breaking ninth goal of the game.

Schuster was effective all night long. She needed just 12 shots and 10 of those ended up on goal. She also finished with four draw controls and two ground balls.

Murray finished with three goals, while Morris and Caitlyn O'Connor followed with two. Shaw led the team with five draw controls, and goalie CC Dent finished with 18 saves in the win.

Allegheny outshot Wooster 37-34. However, Wooster won on ground balls 25-22 and succeeded in more clears (18-14).

Wooster moves to 12-2 overall and 4-1 in the North Coast Athletic Conference. Allegheny drops to 10-4 and 2-3 in conference play.

The Scots will face Baldwin Wallace University on Saturday in the team's final non-conference matchup.
