Staten Island, NY – Audrey Cerrone recorded her second multi-goal game in her last three outings and
Madeline Seims scored four times, leading the Wagner women's lacrosse team over the Vermont Catamounts this afternoon by a score of 11-10 from Hameline Field.
One game removed from her first scoreless outing in more than a year, Seims completed her hat trick in the opening 10 minutes, pacing a Wagner offense that put eight on the board in the first half while outshooting the Catamounts 19-8.
Stephanie Falcone,
Megan Drum,
Kasey Dorney,
Maria Henwood and
Megan Greco all scored for the Seahawks in addition to Seims and Cerrone, while
Erin Kerstetter added a game-best three assists.
Lauren DiStefano made eight saves for the Green and White.
For the Catamounts, MacKenzie Bolt led all scorers with five goals and six points, Ava Vasile added two goals and Sophie McLaughlin made 15 saves in net.
The teams traded goals over the first 6+ minutes before Seims followed Cerrone's first with her second of the day, giving Wagner a 3-2 lead at the 23:04 mark.
Vermont responded with three of the game's next four goals, two coming from Bolt, to claim a 5-4 lead at the 12:54 mark.
The Seahawks took control the rest of the half from there, winning each of the next four draw controls, holding the Catamounts to just two shots on goal, and scoring the final four goals of the half, including Cerrone's second of the day and Henwood's second of the season.
Vermont closed to within one with the first two goals of the second half, but goals from Greco, Falcone and Seims staked Wagner to its biggest lead of the day, 11-7.
The Catamounts clawed their way back to 11-10 with 4:56 remaining, but the Seahawks' defense and ball control took over down the stretch, as the visitors were held without a shot the rest of the way as Wagner held on for the win.
