SALISBURY, N.C.-- The Lenoir-Rhyne women's lacrosse team earned a crucial late-season victory at Catawba on Wednesday night. The Bears move past Catawba in the league standings with the win and control their own destiny in locking up the No. 4 seed and a home game in the SAC Tournament next week.

STATS OF THE GAME
  • Jolan Morey got the Bears started with the first goal of the game just over three minutes into the contest.
  • After Catawba netted the equalizer, LR would finish the first quarter on a 3-0 scoring run. Chloe Christensen went back-to-back with goals and Morey added her second as the Bears took a 4-1 lead.
  • LR was held scoreless in the second quarter but only allowed Catawba to get one goal closer as the Bears went into the break with a 4-2 lead. 
  • Ellie Campbell and Suzy Smith pushed the LR lead to 6-2 in the early stages of the third quarter and Alexa Burghardt was credited with the helper on Smith's score. 
  • Morey completed the hat trick with her 26th goal of the season and extended the Bears scoring spurt to 3-0. 
  • Catawba scored with nine seconds left in the third quarter to cut the deficit to 7-3 but Smith had the answer to push LR's lead back to five. 
  • The Indians scored two in a row to make it 8-5 but Campbell sealed the victory with a goal with 8:44 to play. 
  • Catawba would score once but never get any closer than three in the final stretch.
  • Isabelle Dunnam and Cassie Lafler each finished with four caused turnovers for LR and Teanna Sieben made eight saves in the win.
BEYOND THE BOX SCORE:
  • LR moves to 10-1 all-time against Catawba and is 6-0 all-time at Shuford Stadium. 
  • The Bears now sit in a tie for fourth place in the SAC but hold the tiebreaker over Lincoln Memorial thanks to Saturdays victory over the Railsplitters.
  • A win over Mars Hill on Saturday secures the No. 4 seed in the SAC Tournament. Each of the top four seeds hosts a SAC Quarterfinal game on Tuesday night.
  • Smith's two goals give her 82 on her career which ranks 10th in program history.
  • Dunnam already owns the single-season record for caused turnovers and her four more tonight give her 42 on the year.
UP NEXT: The Bears will finish up the regular season on Saturday with a road trip to Mars Hill.
