WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Nine different players scored as the Stevenson University women's lacrosse team totaled a season-high 22 goals and used an 8-1 run midway through the first half to break open a tie game en route to a 22-11 victory over Ohio Wesleyan Tuesday evening at Lake Lytal Park.

The Mustangs (3-1) outshot the Battling Bishops 48-23 while forcing 20 turnovers and converting 10-of-17 free position shots.

Sophomore Lisa Baker (Westminster/Westminster) led Stevenson offensively with three goals and two assists while junior Lauren Zegowitz (Gaithersburg/Damascus) totaled four goals.

Stevenson took a 2-0 lead in the game's first three minutes on goals by Zegowitz and junior Kristyna Hnizda (Manchester/North Carroll), but Ohio Wesleyan would tie the game on back-to-back goals by Jessica Copeland just 1:25 apart.

With the score tied at 4-4 with 13:42 remaining in the first half, the Mustangs would score eight of the next nine goals to take a commanding 12-5 lead on Zegowitz's third goal of the game with 3:28 left.

Senior Mandi Carr (Crownsville/Old Mill) added two goals during the run while Baker added a goal and an assist.

The Battling Bishops (1-1) would add three goals in the final 2:56 to cut the deficit to 12-8 at halftime.

However, Stevenson opened the second half by scoring six of the first seven goals, including two from freshman Kelli Battista (Elkridge/Long Reach) on free position shots to push the lead to 18-9 with 13:50 remaining.

The Mustangs outscored Ohio Wesleyan 10-3 in the second half to pick up their 10th win in the last 12 games dating back to last season. The team's only losses during that time have both come against No. 2 Salisbury.

Freshman Jenny Schroeder (Severna Park/Seton Keough) made six saves before giving way to sophomore Devan Malone (Highland/River Hill) in the second half.

Stevenson, who received votes in last week's IWLCA/Under Armour Division III Weekly Poll, will wrap-up its two-game trip to Florida on Thursday against Dickinson at 7:00 p.m. The Red Devils were ranked at No. 17 in last week's IWLCA poll, but were receiving votes this week.
