MARQUETTE, Mich. – The UIndy women's lacrosse team (13-3, 9-2 GLIAC) cruised to another conference victory on Friday night at Northern Michigan (2-10, 1-10 GLIAC), 25-8. After scoring a program-record 27 goals back on April 6 against the Wildcats, the Greyhounds poured in another 25 in tonight's victory to record 52 in two wins against the Green and Gold.
 
Freshman Abigail Lagos scored a season-high six goals, while Grace Gunneson and Anna Rulapaugh tallied four for the Hounds. UIndy set new records offensively, launching 58 shots and 44 on goal.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
After Northern Michigan scored the first goal of the game, UIndy rattled off 10 straight in a span of 13 minutes. Lagos and Gunneson traded goals for the Greyhounds for the first eight scores before Hannah Burczyk and Cara Brown capped off the run with tallies of their own.
 
Delaney Davidson and Rulapaugh got in on the fun late in the first half, each scoring their first goal of the game after scores by Lagos and Lauryn Hardoy to make the score 14-3 at the break.
 
The Hounds found the back of the cage eight times before the Wildcats scored again, with Hardoy being credited with two of the first four. Emily Meyer scored her fourth goal of the season to make the score 19-3 just eight minutes into the second half, then Burczyk scored twice more immediately after.
 
Gina Jablonski, Abby Wilmot, and Sarah Konecny each got in the scorebook near the end of the contest with goals, as Northern Michigan heated up its offense a little too late. The goal by Konecny sealed the 25-8 victory with the final score of the game with just under three minutes left.
 
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
Lagos increased her season total to 34 goals with six tonight. Her previous high was five, which came at Charleston on February 24. The redshirt freshman also picked up two ground balls and caused one turnover. She and Burczyk each recorded eight shots.
 
Gunneson, along with scoring four goals, scooped up a game-high three ground balls. It is Gunneson's third time this season scoring at least four goals, and the first time since March 25 against Davenport.
 
Peyton Romig won another seven draws on Friday, upping her season total to 124. Coming into the weekend, the freshman was fifth in NCAA Division II in draw controls per game.
