Senior attacker Molly Daw scored four goals, and senior midfielder Tori Mueller added three to lead the University of Mary Washingon women's lacrosse team to a 10-7 victory over 12th ranked Roanoke College on Thursday afternoon in Memphis, Tennessee. The Eagles eclipse last season's win total with the victory, as they improve to 6-1 on the season.

Sophomore Abigail Fisher took the opening draw and scored in the opening minute on a Taylar Hackney assist. After a Roanoke goal, Muller scored unassisted at 9:17, but the Maroons answered with four straight to take a 5-2 advantage at the conclusion of the first quarter.

Daw then netted consecutive scores at 10:50 and 9:57, and Mueller added her second of the day with 6:41 left before halftime in tying the score. Roanoke added the final goal of the quarter to lead, 6-5, at halftime.

Once again, the Eagle defense stood tall in the second half, allowing just one goal in the final 30 minutes. UMW used a 4-1 scoring advantage in the third to take control. Daw scored at 14:05, and again at 11:35, before Roanoke scored to move the score to 7-7. From there, Mueller scored with 2:29 left, and Ashley Firesheets added another with 30 seconds left, and UMW carried a 9-7 lead to the fourth.

In the final 15 minutes, Fisher scored on a Sadie Laughlin assist midway through, and the defense pitched a shutout.

The Eagles led in shots, 38-19, as well as draw controls, 14-7. Allison Carolan made five saves while allowing just one tally in he second half, and Cece Van Blenis made one save in the opening 30 minutes.
