Wildcats Net A Season High 18 Goals In Win Over Fighting Scots

EDINBORO, Pa. – Junior Dana Bacher (Hamburg, N.Y.) scored seven goals and graduate student Casey Decatur (Apollo Beach, Fla.) added four goals and four assists to lead the Daemen University women's lacrosse team to an 18-7 victory over Edinboro University this evening at Sox Harrison Stadium on the Edinboro campus.

Daemen snapped a two-game losing streak and improved to 4-5 on the year. The 2023 campaign marks the inaugural season for Daemen, which officially announced it was adding women's lacrosse as a varsity sport in June of 2021. The host Fighting Scots suffered their fourth straight loss and fell to 2-5 on the year.

The 18 goals were the most scored in a game by Daemen this season. Seven different players scored a goal for the Wildcats. The seven goals were a season high for Bacher, who has now totaled a team-high 24 goals on the year. The eight points was a season high for Decatur, who has now totaled a team-high 39 points (20 goals, 19 assists) on the year. Freshmen Ella Bouley (Auburn, N.Y.) netted three goals and added an assist tonight, while sophomore Camryn Day (Hamburg, N.Y.) chipped in a goal and two assists.

The teams traded goals early in the game, before the Wildcats rattled off six unanswered goals. An unassisted goal by Decatur with 11:14 left in the second quarter capped the run and gave the Wildcats a 7-1 lead.

The Fighting Scots got back-to-back goals by freshman Caroline Zentis to cut the lead to 7-3, but Daemen closed out the half with five unanswered goals and the Wildcats took a 12-3 lead into halftime.

A free position goal by Bacher with 4:27 left in the third quarter gave Daemen a 15-4 lead and the Fighting Scots came no closer than nine goals after that.

Freshman Blair Pfohl (Lockport, N.Y.) went the distance in net for Daemen and made five saves. Senior Savannah Fischer made five saves for the Fighting Scots.

Day led the Wildcats with a season high 14 draw controls and has now totaled a team-high 60 draw controls on the year.

Daemen posted a 30-15 advantage in total shots and a 23-12 edge in shots on goal. Daemen finished with an 19-9 edge in draw controls.

Daemen returns to action Sunday (March 26) when it hosts Tiffin University.
