Wildcats Fend Off Wintery Weather To Earn Non-League Win Over Saxons

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Senior Dana Bacher (Hamburg, N.Y.) and sophomore Kylie Miranto (North Tonawanda, N.Y.) both scored three goals to lead Daemen University to a 12-1 victory over Alfred University in non-conference women's lacrosse action this evening at Coyer Field on the campus of Buffalo State University. Daemen improved to 2-7 on the year, while Alfred dropped to 2-4.

Sophomores Ella Bouley (Auburn, N.Y.) and Avery Castner (Penn Yan, N.Y.) and freshman Cadence Baran (Lancaster, N.Y.) all totaled two goals and one assist. Baran also tied Miranto for the team lead in ground balls (4). Senior transfer Tatiana Wright (Stratford, Conn.) went the distance in net for the Wildcats and made three saves en route to her first win at Daemen. The Daemen defense, led by sophomores Jenna Havert (Newark, N.Y.) and Maddy Carpenter (Hilton, N.Y.), junior Gabi Accurso (Buffalo, N.Y.) and graduate student Aaliyah Deaton (Hickory, N.C.) limited Alfred to just six total shots.

Sophomore Kylee Bedette netted AU's lone goal.
