Women's lacrosse sets scoring standard in overwhelming 22-1 victory over Lee

INDIANAPOLIS – UIndy women's lacrosse set a pair of program standards Saturday, finishing with the most goals and biggest margin of victory ever in a 22-1 rout over the Lee University Flames in Key Stadium.

The Greyhounds (2-0) scored early and often, and were led by freshman Grace Gunneson's and junior Anna Rulapaugh's seven points apiece.

Competing in its inaugural season, Lee (0-2) was overwhelmed from the opening draw control, as the Hounds poured in three goals in the first 100 seconds of game time.

UIndy continued to dominate possession and find the back of the net with relative ease, pushing the lead up to 10-0 less than 11 minutes into the contest.

At the half, the Hounds held a commanding 16-0 advantage over the Flames.

Sophomore Sarah Konecny got the scoring started in the second half, netting her second of the game off a feed from Gunneson.

When freshman Kylie Backus scored her first collegiate goal with 12:30 on the clock, the lead was 21-0, tying the program record for goals from a 21-7 victory over Walsh last season.

Shortly after, sophomore Krista Temple helped set the new program-best with her second goal of the game.

Lee's lone goal came from Brianne Schapira late in the second half, and was just the second goal surrendered by the Hounds this season.

As a team, UIndy connected on 22 of 32 total shots, and finished with 17 ground balls to Lee's seven. The Hounds were also a perfect 7-for-7 on clear attempts, while the Flames were just 4 for 13.

The Greyhounds forced 17 Lee turnovers, as Konecny and sophomore Laure McKee each had a pair of caused TOs. Konecny also led UIndy with four ground balls.

Individually, Gunneson led the way with four goals on six shots, giving her a team-high eight for the season.

McKee and Micayla Gammon scored three goals apiece, and Rulapaugh, Temple, Konecny and Kailee King each potted multiple goals.

Rulapaugh paced the Hounds with five assists, bringing her season total up to 10. She also leads UIndy with 17 points in the first two games. Gunneson finished with three helpers in Saturday's win.

Sophomore Hana Priddy had five of the Hounds' 18 draw controls, while Gammon and Chalane Morrison notched four apiece.

UIndy has its first road contests of the 2017 campaign coming up, traveling to face Mercy (Feb. 24) and St. Thomas Aquinas (Feb. 26) in New York.
