CLERMONT, Fla. - Stevenson women's lacrosse senior Mandy Marston tied her career-high with four goals while senior Leah Warner totaled five points as the Mustangs defeated No. 20 Dickinson 11-8 Thursday at National Training Center in Florida.

For the second-straight game, Stevenson scored in the first minute of the game as junior Kathryn Merrick scored 47 seconds into the contest. The team would jump out to a 3-0 lead in the first 1:51 after goals by Marston and sophomore Tori Wagner.

However, the Red Devils (5-1) outscored the Mustangs 5-2 the rest of the half as the two teams were tied at five at the break.

The two teams traded goals in the first 5:28 of the second half before three-straight goals by Marston broke a 7-7 tie. Warner assisted on two of the goals.

A free-position goal by Maddy Siebold cut Dickinson's deficit to two with 1:16 remaining in the second half but sophomore Jordan Poretto won the ensuing draw control as the Mustangs mantained possession for the remainder of the game.
