FROSTBURG, MD — The Frostburg State University women’s lacrosse took a commanding 25-2 victory over West Virginia Wesleyan on Wednesday afternoon at Bobcat Stadium in Frostburg.
From the opening draw, Frostburg asserted dominance. Senior attacker Neila Haney poured in six goals and one assist, including a hat trick within the game’s first five minutes. Sophomore Camden DeMaio orchestrated the offense, tallying six assists and adding a goal of her own.
The first quarter was a full-blown blitz. Frostburg outscored Wesleyan 11-0, capitalizing on nearly every possession, peppering Wesleyan’s defense with 21 shots in the opening frame, compared to zero from the visitors. Frostburg controlled the tempo with eight draw controls in the first quarter alone, allowing them to keep Wesleyan on their heels throughout.
By halftime, the game was already out of reach at 17-0, with Frostburg converting eight different goal scorers and dominating every statistical category. Megan Gray and Sydney Stone contributed three goals apiece, while Julia Badolato, Daniella Boss, and Natalie Willeams each added two.
Wesleyan, still searching for its second win of the season (now 1-6), finally broke the drought in the fourth quarter with goals from Wiktoria Walska and Francesca Sloan. Sloan’s effort stood out in an otherwise tough afternoon for Wesleyan, recording one goal and three ground balls while drawing several defensive assignments. The team managed just seven total shots, six on goal, and turned the ball over 30 times.
Defensively, Frostburg was airtight, forcing repeated turnovers and limiting Wesleyan to just five successful clears on 14 attempts. Goalkeeper Nicole Gray made three saves in her 30 minutes of play while combining with Grace Dickey and Berkley Brown to hold Wesleyan to only two goals on the day.
Frostburg finished with a staggering 52 shots, 38 on goal, and 19 draw controls. Its efficiency on free-position shots was equally impressive, converting 7 of 8 attempts.
Wesleyan is on the road to Franciscan University on Friday, Mar. 28 for a 4 p.m. opening draw.
