Women's Lacrosse Falls at Stanford
March 09, 2024 | Women's Lacrosse
STANFORD, CA - Army West Point women's lacrosse (2-5, 0-0 Patriot League) fell by a score of 17-8 at RV Stanford (4-2, 0-0 Pac-12) on Saturday afternoon from Cagan Stadium.
The Black Knights scored just once in the second half after trailing 8-7 at halftime, having used a 4-0 run to get back into the game after trailing 8-3. Julia Gorajek, Allison Reilly and Lily Valentini each scored a pair of goals for Army while Brigid Duffy logged a career-high 11 draw controls to go along with a team-high three points. Lindsey Serafine made ten saves off the bench in the effort.
The Cardinal got out to a blazing start, scoring three times in the opening 90 seconds off of three straight draw control wins. Army was able to regroup with Valentini scoring off a feed from Duffy, before Duffy secured a draw and took it immediately to the cage for her first and Army's second of the game which made it 4-2.
The Cardinal eventually poured in seven first quarter goals, outshooting Army 17-5 in the opening frame. Gorajek got another one back with Duffy tabbing her third point of the quarter as Army trailed 7-3 after one.
Lindsey Serafine entered in the cage for Army to begin the second frame, and after an early Stanford goal, she blanked the Cardinal through the end of the half with three saves. This allowed Army to claw its back into the game, beginning with Gorajek getting her second goal before Gabrielle Mirak registered a woman-up goal which made it 8-5 with 6:06 left in the half.Â
Valentini then got her second of the game and eighth of the season after sniping the top-right corner off an assist from Reilly, before Reilly made good on her first eight-meter attempt of the game to make it an 8-7 Stanford lead at the half.
Stanford then came out and dominated the second half, scoring the first three goals to get a cushion as Reilly scored the eighth and final goal for Army with 6:45 to play in the third quarter. Army was outshot 22-8 in the final half hour and recorded just three total shots in the fourth quarter.Â
The Black Knights became the first team to outdraw Stanford this season, controlling the draw 15-14 behind the 11 from Duffy. Serafine's ten saves were a season-high from an Army goalkeeper, as the 17 turnovers from Army were also the most in a game this season.
Army will return home to open its Patriot League account next Saturday, hosting No. 7 Loyola at 3:00 p.m. from Michie Stadium.
