Women's Lacrosse Trounces Siena by 14 Goals

McMahon kicked off the scoring run with a pair of finishes, converting a lobbed assist from sophomore midfielder Caroline Garrity and then beating a defender with a spin dodge and sneaking an underhanded shot past the Siena goalie.

Glynn added to the scoring, finishing off of a pass from MacAfee with 1:08 left in the half to extend Harvard’s margin to six points.

MacAfee would get her second goal of the night with just 16 seconds left on the clock—but not before senior defender Marina Burke cut in front of goal and found the back of the net from close range.

The Crimson showed no signs of slowing down after the restart, pulling even further away from the Saints with six goals in a row.

Glynn and Guild would each pick up a second score of the game in the second half, and junior attacker Caroline Ashford got in on the act, smashing home a shot from close range. Sophomore midfielder Ali Thaler also collected up her first goal of the year, and freshman Katie Muldoon midfielder Katie Muldoon continued a strong rookie season, picking out the top corner from distance.

Romeo rounded out the scoring run, picking up her fourth goal of the game and 14th of the season. This weekend’s contest marked the third time in four games this year that the senior has scored four or more goals.

Siena picked up two quick goals at the end of the second period to bring the score to 18-6.

It fell to two freshmen to crush any chance of a Saints comeback and put the game to bed, after the bulk of the scoring on the day came from upperclassmen.

First, rookie attacker Julia DiNovi beat a defender with a feint before finding the bottom corner of the net. Not to be outdone, classmate and midfielder Bridget Flynn outpaced a Siena player and slammed an overhand shot past the Saints goalie with 17 seconds remaining in the game to seal the 14-score difference.

“I think the team played great today,” Romeo said. “It was a great team win, and everyone contributed. We are really excited coming off of this win and going into our big game versus Ohio State on Monday.”
