Box score

SALISBURY, Md. - Stevenson women's lacrosse senior Kristyna Hnizda (Manchester/North Carroll) became the second player to score her 100th career point this season as the 20th-ranked Mustangs fell to No. 2 Salisbury Tuesday night at Sea Gull Stadium in the semifinals of the CAC Women's Lacrosse Championship, 18-6.

The loss marked the third-straight year that Stevenson (10-6) has lost at Salisbury in the semifinals of the conference tournament.

Hnizda scored her 94th career goal less than three minutes into the game and just 43 seconds after Beth Rhodey scored to give the Sea Gulls a 1-0 lead.

However, Salisbury (16-1) scored the game's next five goals, including three by Rhodey and two from Kid Cudmore who also had an assist during the run, to take a commanding 6-1 advantage with 14:03 left in the first half.

Both teams exchanged goals over the final 10 minutes and the Sea Gulls led 7-2 at halftime after holding a 20-10 margin in shots and a 9-5 edge in ground balls.

The Mustangs tallied two of the first three goals to start the second half on back-to-back scores by senior Brittany Connelly (Catonsville/Catonsville) and sophomore Spencer Kraus (Mt. Airy/South Carroll) to cut their deficit to 8-4, but that would be as close as they would get as Salisbury scored 10 of the game's last 12 goals to advance to the CAC championship game for the eighth consecutive year.

Kraus and junior Megan Weiss (Odenton/Seton), who scored her 100th career point against St. Mary's (Md.) on April 10, both finished with two points while Hnizda, Connelly and senior Lauren Zegowitz (Gaithersburg/Damascus) each had one.

Freshman Jenny Schroeder (Severna Park/Severna Park) totaled eight saves and four ground balls while Zegowitz and sophomore Lauren Taguding (Baltimore/Towson) each had three caused turnovers.

Jessica Chmielewski had six points to lead the Sea Gulls while Cudmore and Rhodey both finished with five.

Stevenson concludes the regular season next Thursday, April 29 at Elizabethtown.
