EDINBORO, Pa. – Six players each tallied multiple goals to lead the Lock Haven University lacrosse team (6-4, 3-3 PSAC) to a 16-2 victory over Edinboro University (1-8, 0-5 PSAC) in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West Division action on Tuesday afternoon.
With the victory, Lock Haven extends it winning streak with the Fighting Scots to 13 games in a series that dates back to 2009.
The Bald Eagles wasted little time getting on the board in the midweek showdown. Casey Hibbard (Ontario, N.Y./Wayne Central) needed just 28 seconds to notch her 12th goal of the season and put LHU out in front by a 1-0 tally.
Lock Haven's goals came in bunches over the remainder of the first quarter. Three straight goals allowed the Bald Eagles to surge to a 4-0 lead with 9:50 to play in the opening stanza before the Fighting Scots responded with a goal just over a minute later.
Following the Edinboro tally, the Bald Eagles registered seven goals in a row to end the first quarter and take an 11-1 lead after 15 minutes of play.
In a fast-moving second quarter, three more LHU goals sent the Bald Eagles into the locker room with a 14-1 advantage.
In a slowed second half, Lock Haven put the finishing touches on the victory with a single tally in the final frame as the Bald Eagles rode away with a 16-2 triumph.
Nadia Baskot (Damascus, Md./Damascus), Anna Collins (Port Matilda, Pa./State College), Casey Hibbard (Ontario, N.Y./Wayne Central), Abby Katrinak (Strongsville, Ohio/ Strongsville), Krysta Reading (Warrington, Pa./Central Bucks South) and Emma Williams (Garnet Valley, Pa./Garnet Valley) each registered two goals to lead the Lock Haven offense. The Bald Eagles rattled off 34 shots in the win.
