Hurst Tallies Hat Trick on Senior Day Against UCCS

DURANGO, Colo. – Freshman Rachel Hurst stole the show on senior day as she recorded a hat trick for the Fort Lewis College lacrosse team against UC-Colorado Springs on Sunday afternoon. The Skyhawks honored their two seniors in Allena "Boogie" Wolfblack and Aitana Rivera. The Mountain Lions used a pair of big scoring runs in each half to take the 16-6 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference victory at Ray Dennison Field.

While Hurst recorded her hat trick, Wolfblack tallied a goal on senior day and Rivera added a groundball and caused turnover. UCCS (4-6, 3-2 RMAC) was tough to keep out of the offensive end as they held a 20-4 advantage on draw controls, which led to a 45-15 edge on shots and 32-12 on goal.

Hurst opened the scoring and started the day strong for the Skyhawks (1-5, 1-4 RMAC) when she scored nearly three minutes in for the early 1-0 lead. It was her sixth goal of the season at the 27:20 mark.

After that, the Mountain Lions scored the next five goals before Abby Escandon took a nice pass from Ann Nelson near the front of the goal and shot it home for her seventh goal of the season leaving UCCS with the 5-2 lead at the 12:03 mark.

The Mountain Lions scored four of the final five goals of the first half with Hurst recording her second goal of the day at the 1:39 mark before UCCS scored the final goal of the half to take a 9-3 lead into the locker rooms.

UCCS came out strong in the second half scoring the first seven goals to jump out to a 16-3 lead. The Skyhawks didn't back down, as they responded by scoring the final three goals of the game. Wolfblack got the scoring spurt starting with a goal off an assist by Delaney Benson at the 8:41 mark for her seventh goal of the season. A few minutes later, Maren Clark broke free and sent home a goal at the 5:31 mark for her sixth goal of the season. Hurst then made a nice individual effort for the final goal of the game, causing a turnover, picking up the groundball and then turning it into a hat trick with two minutes to play for her eighth goal of the season.

Daris Wienk was solid in net all game long tallying 16 saves. She also tied Mia White for the team lead in groundballs with four. White and Hurst led the way in caused turnovers with two apiece and Benson had two draw controls.

Angela Naughton led the Mountain Lions with four goals, while four other players had at least two goals. Kiera Lowe dished out two assists, while Ellie O'Brien had eight groundballs, Sydney Malcolm had three caused turnovers and Audrey Napp had six draw controls. In net, Kennedy Travis started and played the first 49:32 to get the win after making five saves. Emma Becker played the final 10:28 and tallied a save.

FLC will now hit the road for the final four games of the regular season starting this coming Friday at Adams State starting at 1 p.m. in Alamosa. The Skyhawks when then face Lindenwood on Apr. 19 in Colorado Springs. This game is the one that was postponed on Mar. 14 and FLC will be the home team in the game.
