Chippewas eye Southern Conference opener
KENNESAW, Ga. – Kennesaw State used a 7-1 spurt in the second half on Friday in handing the Central Michigan lacrosse team a 19-16 nonconference loss at the Owls' Fifth Third Bank Stadium.
The victory spoiled an eight-point (six goals, two assists) effort from CMU's Natalie Karlen and left the Chippewas 3-6 as they head into their Southern Conference opener on Sunday (noon) at Mercer in Macon, Ga.
The Chippewas were coming off a big 16-7 nonconference victory over Marquette.
"What helped us win against Marquette is what we didn't execute (against Kennesaw State)," CMU coach Sara Tisdale said. "Inconsistent clears and possessions. No surprises from Kennesaw State; we just didn't' execute and we didn't play consistently."
HOW IT HAPPENED
Siena Gore scored five goals and Abby Squires had five to lead the Owls, who snapped a three-game losing streak in improving to 3-6.
Squires scored with 22:59 to play to tie the game, 11-11, and then Gore scored 29 seconds later to put Kennesaw State ahead for good.
CHIPPEWA LEADERS
Jocelyne Lemay added four goals and Shannon Doyle had three for the Chippewas. Anna Schoonover had a team-high three assists for CMU.
Karlen's eight points tied with Riley Huda and Lemay for the second-most in a single game in CMU history. Karlen set the mark with nine (four goals, five assists) against Furman on April 13, 2018.
Karlen's six goals tied for the second-most in program history. Anna Schoonover set the CMU standard with seven goals in the 16-7 win over Marquette.
IN GOAL
Hope Murray and Dominique Hamman split the game in goal for the Chippewas. Murray surrendered 12 goals and made four saves in 37-plus minutes; Hamman allowed seven goals and registered five saves in 22-plus minutes. Murray took the loss.
LOOKING FORWARD
"We are 0-0 as of today," Tisdale said as the Chippewas look to their conference opener on Sunday at Mercer. "Mercer is the focus and we'll get after it (on Saturday)."
