Ten different members of the St. Lawrence University women's lacrosse team scored as the Saints posted their first win of the season, defeating SUNY Canton 16-4 on Monday afternoon at North Country Field.

SUNY Canton's MaryClare Bowes scored back-to-back goals with less than five minutes to play in the first half to draw the game within four, 8-4, but the Saints closed the game with an 8-0 run.


 
St. Lawrence scored two man-down goals and outshot the Roos, 35-15. The Roos' Becca Kieffer made 11 saves, while Cricket Wemyss and Olga Lukas combined to make five saves for the Saints.
 
"It was a great group effort for the win today," said head coach Ashley Pike. "I'm proud of how each of the girls performed."
 
SUNY Canton was led by Bowes, who scored three of the Roos' four goals, while Allison Auger added the fourth. Amanda Woods caused four turnovers and picked up four ground balls.
 
The Saints moved to 1-2 on the season, while the Roos fell to 0-1.
