Box Score

ALAMOSA, Colo. — Freshman attack Jessica Norby scored six goals and assisted on six others as Fort Lewis (2-5 overall, 1-0 in league games) claimed a 24-2 over Adams State (0-3, 0-1) in the first-ever Western Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association women's lacrosse game played today at the ASC Lacrosse & Soccer Field.

The Skyhawks also had a five-goal, three-assist effort from Kylie Smith and a combined seven goals from sisters Ally and Abby Kvidera while claiming what will be a share of the early WILA lead after Saturday night's encounter between Regis and Mesa State, the other two WILA teams, in Grand Junction.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies, playing in their inaugural season, received goals from Amanda Hisel and Robyn Bushman.

The Skyhawks scored eight goals in the first 6: 26 seconds as both Kvidera sisters scored two each.

The Grizzly defense then settled in and allowed just two more goals over the next 5:20 before Hisel tallied her team-best fourth goal of the season to put the Grizzlies on the board with 16:31 left in the first half.

Bushman then registered her third goal just 4:06 later before Smith put the Skyhawks up 12-2 with two goals, spread 2:25 apart.

Abby Kvidera, who had three goals while raising her season total to a WILA-leading 21, then completed the first-half scoring with 1:52 left on the clock.

With a 13-2 lead at the break, the Skyhawks then scored five more goals in the first 8:33 of the second before playing more of a stalling game down the stretch en-route to the victory, their 20-plus goal win in a row.

The Skyhawks, who defeated first-year NCAA Division III Millsaps (Miss.) by a 23-2 score on Thursday in Colorado Springs, won 20 of the 27 draw controls throughout the encounter and had a big 35-10 edge in total shots.

Genna Waugh (2-4 overall) was in goal during the first half, making four saves. Waugh has been in net for all three victories in the three-year history of the FLC lacrosse program.

Shelby Wichkoski made one save in the second half in 30 minutes of scoreless relief.

Kirsten Bates made eight saves in net for the Grizzlies while LiErin Wilson had five groundballs and four caused turnovers to lead ASC's defensive effort.

Smith had five groundballs and the same number of caused turnovers for the Skyhawks.
