Box Score

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The Army West Point women's lacrosse team fell, 21-8, to service-academy rival No. 14 Navy on Saturday afternoon at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

In her first Army-Navy game, freshman Caroline Raymond paced the Black Knights (10-4, 3-3 Patriot League) with a team-high five points on two goals and a trio of assists. Jackie Brattan was the top-scoring cadet opposite the Midshipmen (11-3, 5-1 Patriot League), needing just three shots to score her three goals for the hat trick.

Three other cadets got into the scoring column as Rilee Scott, Megan Raftery and Taylor Andrews each tallied a goal.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Midshipmen wasted no time to showcase their offensive attack. Over the opening 11 minutes of play, Navy went on an 8-0 run.
With 18:58 on the clock, Olivia Carter surveyed the field and found Brattan near the net. The sophomore was open on top of the crease and scored on a quick stick.
After back-to-back Navy scores, the Black Knights countered at the 11:13 mark. Raymond had the ball and was warded off by a defender. However, she found a cutting Scott and the junior put one into the back of the net to trim the deficit to eight, 10-2.
Brattan added her second goal of the game before the Midshipmen went on a 5-1 run to close out the half and go into the break leading 15-4.
Army struck first in the second half once Raymond rolled around the outside of the crease before rifling a shot into the net.
The Midshipmen responded with a 5-0 run before a Raymond goal ended a scoring drought with 13:59 remaining. Navy would get that goal back and go on to secure the home win despite two Army goals in the closing 7:10 by Brattan and Andrews.
