(LEBANON, Ill., Mar.22) - The McKendree University women's lacrosse team steamrolled the visiting Wildcats from Northern Michigan University 22-3 Friday afternoon with five different Bearcats contributing multi-goal performances. The win also marks the second time this season McKendree has scored over 20 goals in a single game, after previously defeating Ashland University 21-1 last weekend.

Offensively, the Bearcats were led by senior midfielder Hannah Sugarman (Holden, MA/Wachusett Regional), who scored a season-high seven goals in a dominant effort. Senior attacker Emily Nelson (Deephaven, MN/Holy Family Catholic) led all Bearcats in points with nine, scoring five goals of her own and dishing out four assists, while freshman attacker Kathryn Albrecht (Louisville, KY/Eastern High School) tallied five points. 

Defensively, Sugarman also led the Bearcats with six caused turnovers, while the defensive unit as a whole allowed just three goals in 60 minutes of action.

The Bearcats are back in action this Sunday, March 24 when they play host to another GLIAC foe in Concorida-St. Paul.
