Driscoll Nets Hat Trick, Women’s Lacrosse Falls to Merrimack

RADFORD, Va. – Despite junior Maddy Driscoll scoring her third hat trick as a Highlander and first of the season, the Radford women's lacrosse team ended up on the losing end of a 17-6 decision to the Merrimack Warriors on Tuesday afternoon at the SORC.

KEY STATS
  • Driscoll is the third Highlander to add a hat trick this season and third in as many games. Ashlyn Bell (6) at Howard and Evie Gee (3) at Mount St. Mary's have also had hat tricks.
  • Freshman Ava Zeuner had a fantastic day in goal, making a dozen saves in 41 minutes of action.
  • Radford showed improvement in the draw control category, winning seven today compared to just one at Mount St. Mary's and three at Howard.
  • Mady Cheney added a goal and now has 98 in her career, just two away from the century mark.
PLAY BY PLAY
Merrimack got their spring break started with a bang, scoring three times in the first four minutes of action. Ashlyn Bell took a nice pass from Molly O'Brien and fired a shot that found nylon to answer the Merrimack three-spot. The Warriors dominated the rest of the first quarter and early second, building up a 10-1 lead.

Cheney and Driscoll teamed up to put a stop to the Warriors run, but they answered after taking the draw control to make it 11-2 with 11:10 left in the first half. Driscoll then scored her first of three goals to make it 11-3. Merrimack got ahead by 10 before Driscoll forced and scored on a turnover with 1:33 left before the break.

Merrimack won the third period 3-0 before Driscoll got the hat trick, scoring on a free position attempt with 13:42 left. Maggie Wisniewski found the net with 2:43 left, and Radford just missed making it a 10-goal game but scored just after the fourth period came to an end for the 17-6 final.

UP NEXT
The Highlanders return to the SORC Saturday morning for a matchup against the Butler Bulldogs. The contest begins at 11:00 a.m.
