ASHLAND, Ohio – The No. 11 UIndy women's lacrosse team (16-1, 12-0 GLVC) closed out its 2019 regular season on Friday afternoon with a dominating 26-2 win at Ashland (4-11, 3-8 GLIAC) to complete the season sweep of the Eagles.
Â
Junior attacker
Destinie Katz had a field day in the finale, totaling a program-record 13 points on five goals and eight assists.
Â
HOW IT HAPPENED
Just like much of the season, the Greyhounds did not waste much time before building a big lead. UIndy netted 10 goals in less than eight minutes of action to induce the running clock, with
Hannah Burczyk and Katz each scoring twice during that stretch. After an Ashland tally, UIndy rattled off another eight straight goals to lead 18-1 at the break.
Â
Grace Gunneson found the back of the cage four times in the opening half, including three in the final 18 minutes.
Â
The Greyhounds dominated the second half, limiting the Eagles to just a pair of shots. All eight goals for UIndy were scored by a different player, as
Sarah Konecny,
Trisha Koning, and
Hannah Reho all recorded goals.
Abby Wilmot capped off the win with a hat trick, scoring with just under three minutes left in the game.
Â
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
With Katz snatching the program record for most points in a contest, the Manorville, N.Y. product now holds four of the top five single-game marks.
Â
Draw specialist
Peyton Romig secured 17 wins inside the circle on Friday, finishing the 2019 campaign with 197. The sophomore also netted her third hat trick of the season in the win.
Â
Starting keeper
Cassidy King was limited in action against the Eagles, seeing just two shots in the first half. The rookie grabbed three balls to finish with 29 in 16 games.
With the victory, UIndy matches its program record of 16 wins, which it accomplished a season ago.
Â
UP NEXT
The Greyhounds will host the 2019 GLIAC tournament next weekend, welcoming three other teams to Indianapolis. Two quarterfinal games will be played next Tuesday to determine who will join UIndy and Grand Valley State in the semifinals.
