Four Record Hat Tricks as Lacrosse Dominates Grizzlies

ALAMOSA, Colo. – Delaney Benson and Abby Escandon each scored four goals, while Ann Nelson and Maren Clark added hat tricks to lead the Fort Lewis College lacrosse team to a 16-1 win over Adams State Friday afternoon in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play.

FLC (2-5, 2-4 RMAC) scored 11 goals in the first half and then shutout Adams State (0-9, 0-5 RMAC) in the second half while holding a 5-0 scoring advantage. Benson tallied her four goals on four shots, while also leading the way in groundballs with four and dished out an assist. Escandon posted her four goals on seven shots and added two assists. Nelson collected a hat trick on just three shots, while she also had two assists, three groundballs, a caused turnover and two draw controls. Clark picked up her hat trick on five shots and added an assist, three groundballs and two caused turnovers. Rachel Hurst rounded out the scoring for the Skyhawks with two goals. While Benson led the way in groundballs, Nelson, Clark and Daris Wienk added three apiece. Benson and Clark each added two caused turnovers and Mia White led the team in draw controls with six.

Wienk started in net to pick-up the win after collecting 10 saves. FLC also forced 18 turnovers.

Nelson opened the scoring nearly five minutes in when she connected off a free position goal. Escandon then took a pass from Clark to send home the second goal of the game at the 22:51 mark. Escandon made it two straight when she scored a few minutes later off an assist by Nelson. Within a minute of time, the Skyhawks piled up three straight goals around the 15-minute mark when Clark, Hurst and Benson all scored to move the lead out to 6-0.

Hurst scored her second straight goal a few minutes later off an assist by Escandon and then Benson moved the lead out to 8-0 with her goal off an assist by Sarah Heathershaw at the 10:08 mark. Nelson, Benson and Escandon added goals over the remainder of the half to take a 11-1 lead into the locker rooms.

Clark opened the scoring just over three minutes into the second half and then made it two straight when she buried the 13th goal of the game at the 19:31 mark. Benson, Nelson and Escandon in almost similar sequences from the first half scored to close out the game and give FLC the 16-1 win.

FLC held a 26-15 edge on shots, including 24-11 on goal. The Skyhawks also controlled groundballs (20-18) and in draw controls (11-6).

With the win, the Skyhawks are now 16-0 all-time against Adams State.

FLC will continue their road swing next week when they play against nationally-ranked Lindenwood on Friday starting at 8 p.m. in Colorado Springs and then will close the trip on Saturday at CSU-Pueblo beginning at noon. The Lindenwood game, that was originally scheduled to be played in Durango, was moved to Aztec before weather forced the postponement of the game that was scheduled to take place Mar. 14.
